Expert Tips

This recipe was one of fifteen winners in the 2007 Mix It Up with Betty! Cookie Mix Recipe Contest. More than $10,000 was awarded!

Find lemon curd next to the jams and jellies in your supermarket.

Cut bars into larger dessert-sized servings and serve with a fork.

To toast almonds, bake in ungreased shallow pan in 350°F oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

VERY Yummy ! Wonderful taste and I agree, allowing it to sit overnight allowed the flavors to meld. I did however, have a difficult time getting the cream cheese layer to cover the whole 9X13 pan in which I had to cover the top with a single layer of cool whip so I would look better. Next time I may double the cream cheese layer. Again, very yummy !!

I made this recipe as a dessert to go with a "soup swap" party. Everyone loved the flavor of it and I made it again for a dessert to follow a heavy Mexican food dinner. Worked very well for that also. It's light and tasty and tops off a meal beautifully. Thanks for sharing it.
