Recipe



PREHEAT oven to 350ºF. Line 8-inch square baking pan with
foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan; set aside. Combine wafer
crumbs, 1/2 cup flour and the brown sugar in medium bowl. Cut in margarine with
pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; press
firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 min.

MEANWHILE, beat Neufchatel cheese and granulated sugar with
electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs and 2 Tbsp. flour;
mix well. Blend in 1 Tbsp. lemon peel, lemon juice and baking powder; pour over
crust.

BAKE 25 to 28 min. or until center is set. Cool completely.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Sprinkle with powdered
sugar and remaining 2 Tbsp. grated lemon peel just before cutting into squares
to serve. Store leftover squares in refrigerator.
