Cranberry Orange Cream Cheese Bars
- FOR THE CRUST:
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 stick Cold Unsalted Butter, Diced
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 10 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
- 2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
- 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1/4 cups Orange Marmalade
- 1 Tablespoon Orange Marmalade
- 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3/4 cups Fresh Cranberries
- For the crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and spray the paper and sides of the pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine the flour and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and blend for about 30 seconds, until the dough starts to clump together. Press the dough evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the oven, set pan on a rack and let crust cool completely.
- For the filling:
- Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Add the marmalade, orange zest, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Gently fold in the cranberries.
- Pour the mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the filling jiggles only slightly when gently shaken. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Cut into squares and keep refrigerated.
