Number Of Ingredients 14

CRUST:
1/2 c butter, softened
1/3 c sugar
3/4 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 c macadamia nuts, chopped
FILLING/TOPPING:
1 pkg 8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 can(s) 15 oz. pear halve, well drained
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar. Beat in the flour and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the macadamia nuts. In a well greased 8-inch square baking dish, press the the crust evenly in pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
  • 2. Increase oven temperature to 375. In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined and smooth. Pour over warm crust. Cut pears into 1/8" slices and arrange in a single layer over the filling. Combine the sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle evenly over the pears. Bake for 28-30 minutes. The center will be soft set and will firm up as it cools. Cool on a wire rack for 45 minutes or until completely cooled. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or over night before cutting. Store left over bars in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears: The riper the pears, the sweeter and more flavorful your bars will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until the center is just set: Overbaking the bars will make them dry. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bars. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the bars are done.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Pear custard bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
