    Source of Recipe

    Auntie Claire

    List of Ingredients

    Crust:
    1½ cups graham cracker or vanilla wafer crumbs
    5 Tablespoons butter, melted
    2 Tablespoons sugar

    Filling:
    1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    1/3 cup lemon juice
    2 Tablespoons real maple syrup

    Topping:
    1 cup real maple syrup
    ½ cup water
    1 egg, beaten
    1½ Tablespoons cornstarch
    ½ cup chopped walnuts

    Recipe

    To make the crust, combine the graham cracker or vanilla wafer crumbs, sugar and butter. Mix well. Press into a 9-inch pie pan. Chill the crust while you make the filling.

    To make the filling, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the milk, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons maple syrup; beat well. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Chill for several hours. To make the topping, bring the 1 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup water to a boil. Mix together the egg and cornstarch.

    Add a little bit of the boiling syrup to the mixture so the egg doesn¹t cook before before incorporating it all together. Stir and cook until the syrup is thickened. Spread over the cream cheese filling. Garnish with the chopped walnuts. Keep refrigerated until served.
    Yield: Serves 8.
