Orange-Cashew Bars Recipe

Crust:
1/2 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg yolk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Middle layer:
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup fat-free, cholesterol-free egg substitute
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cups cashews, coarsely chopped

Orange glaze:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Crust: grease a rectangular 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Beat cream cheese and sugars in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in vanilla and egg yolk. Gradually add flour until soft dough begins to form. Knead dough on a floured surface for 1 minute (don’t over knead). Press dough evenly into pan and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned

Middle layer: beat all ingredients (except cashews) together with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes. Stir in cashews and spread over baked crust. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until top is slightly browned. Cool pan on a wire rack.

Glaze: Mix powdered sugar and orange juice together to make a glaze and then spread evenly over baked layers. Sprinkle with remaining cashews and cut into 48 bars and serve.
