Just press the graham-cracker-and-walnut crust into a pan, let it chill, and make an easy filling with cream cheese, yogurt, and whipped cream. Let the filling set for several hours, then give it a drizzle of syrup and a sprinkling of walnuts right before serving for maximum maple magic.
Yield:
16-20 barsIngredients
16 graham crackers, broken into pieces
1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, melted
Instructions
Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving at least a 2-inch overhang on the sides to help you lift the bars out of the pan later.
Now, make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until mostly broken down. Add the walnuts, sugar, and melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down into an even layer. Transfer the pan to your freezer.
