Weight Watchers Lemony Cream Cheese Dessert Bars:🧀🍰

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or greasing lightly.

Prepare the Crust:

1. In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

Bake the Crust:

1. Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes lightly golden and fragrant.
2. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely while you prepare the cream cheese layer.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened reduced-fat cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, powdered sugar substitute, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
2. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

Spread the Cream Cheese Layer:

1. Once the crust has cooled, spread the prepared cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the crust using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Ensure the layer is smooth and reaches the edges of the crust.

Prepare the Lemon Topping:

1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, water, cornstarch, and powdered sugar substitute until the cornstarch is dissolved.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
3. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat.

Spread the Lemon Topping:

1. Once thickened, pour the lemon topping evenly over the cream cheese layer, using a spatula to spread it out to the edges.
