Pear and Cream Cheese Tart with Graham Crust

Created on-the-fly when we decided we needed a dessert!

Ingredients:

Crust:
1 brick of graham crackers
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 egg yolk

Filling:
1 1/2 brick cream cheese (neufchatel is good)
1/3 cup milk
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla, or to taste

Also:
2 pears
2 tbsp wine jelly

Oven 375
Grind up the graham crackers in a food processor. Add the butter and yolk and pulse to combine. Press the mixture into a pie plate or tart plate and bake for 7 minutes or until the edge is golden.

Combine the cream cheese with the milk, sugar and vanilla and blend until smooth. Pour into the baked crust.

Slice the pears thinly and arrange on top. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pears are tender.

Melt the jelly and brush onto the pears.

Yay!
