Creamy Lemon Squares

This is another recipe from a Food and Family magazine. The lemon flavor is pretty strong, so if you aren't a lemon fan, this probably isn't for you. This also might be good if you serve it with some fresh strawberries or something.

Creamy Lemon Squares

20 Reduced Fat Nilla Wafers, finely crushed
1/2 c flour
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c cold margarine
1 pkg Philadelphia Neufchatel Cheese
1 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 T flour
1 T lemon zest
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
1/4 t Calumet Baking Powder
2 t powdered sugar

1. Heat over to 350. Mix wafre crumbs, 1/2 c flour, and brown sugar in bowl. Cut in margarine with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into bottom of 8 inch square pan (greased) and bake for 10 minutes.
2. Beat cheese and granulated sugar with mixer until blended. Add eggs and 2 T flour. Mix well. Blend in lemon zest, lemon juice, and paking powder. Pour over crust.
3. Bake 25-28 min or until center is set. Cool. Refrigerate 2 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
