Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the flour and hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor and process until nuts are ground and the mixture is blended.

Add brown sugar and butter and process until crumbly and completely blended.

Reserve 1/2 cup for later use.

Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking dish.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.

While crust bakes, prepare filling by whisking the cream cheese, honey, egg, milk, lemon juice and vanilla extract together until smooth.

Pour filling onto the hot crust.

Sprinkle the reserved crust over the filling evenly, pressing down just slightly with fingers. Return to oven for 25 minutes.

Cool in the pan to room temperature. Refrigerate until set and cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.
