This is a recipe I got from foodnetwork.com and modified to be a little lighter in calories and fat. Didn't lose any of its deliciousness...these went FAST!
Crust:
1 1/3 cups flour (I use Pamela's GF baking mix)
1/4 cup sugar (I sub. 1/8 cup + 1 tbsp Splenda)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (I use light)
Bake at 350 in a 13x9 pan for around 12-15 min. The edges should just be starting to brown.
Batter:
8oz cream cheese (I use fat-free)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg (I use 1/4 cup egg sub.)
1/4 cup sugar (or, again, 1/8 + 1 tbsp Splenda)
1 8oz can of crushed pineapple, drained (I like Dole)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
1/4 cup white chocolate chips
Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until lump-free - I prefer to use my big stand mixer for this. Add egg, sugar, pineapple, and vanilla and mix throughly. Add in the nuts and chocolate. Pour over the cookie crust and bake at 350 for an additional 15-20 min. or until batter is set.
Melt and drizzle an addtional 1/4 cup of white chocolate over the bars and sprinkle with 1/4 cup finely chopped mac nuts. Enjoy!
