Ingredients

20 servings

1/3 cup salted butter
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup finely ground walnuts
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese, (at room temperature)

Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch pan with nonstick spray.
Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Add the flour and walnuts. Blend to make a mixture of coarse crumbs. Reserve 1/2 cup for topping. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until browned.
Place all of the filling ingredients into large bowl. Blend with an electric mixer until well combined. Pour the filling mixture over the hot crust. Sprinkle with the reserved crumbs. Bake for 25 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool completely. Refrigerate until firm, then cut to serve.
