How to Make Nutty Cheesecake Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup chopped walnuts, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Set aside half of the crumb mixture.
- Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat together the cheesecake filling ingredients (see ingredient list for quantities and specifics).
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle evenly with the reserved crumb mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled.
