4 oz. goat cheese (or cream cheese if you don't have goat cheese on hand)
½ c. sugar
1 T. flour
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
zest of 1 lime
juice of 1 lime
½ t. vanilla
Instructions
In a large bowl beat the butter until soft, then add sugar and salt just until incorporated. Add flour and mix until it forms a dough. Press dough into a 13" x 9" pan lined with foil. Bake for 20 minutes @ 350 degrees. Cool for about 5 minutes.
Spread jam over freshly baked shortbread and then sprinkle evenly with fresh blackberries. Set aside.
Beat together cream cheese and goat cheese in a large bowl. When well mixed, add in sugar and 1 T. of flour until blended. Slowly add egg, egg yolk, lime zest, lime juice and vanilla, mix until smooth. Pour evenly over berries & shortbread. Bake @ 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Let cool for one hour on wire rack, then chill in the fridge for 2 hours. Pull the bars out of the pan with the help of the foil onto a cutting board. Cut into squares and peel off foil on bottom. Enjoy! (try not to eat too many all at once!)
