Cranberry Kiwi Squares

I used this recipe as a base for these bars.  They turned out so very tasty.  I will definitely have to make these again.  The cranberry, kiwi sauce gives these bars a nice little bite of extra flavor.....and the drizzle is just so pretty.  ;)


Cranberry Kiwi Squares

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (I used one sleeve of crackers)
1/3 cup tub margarine, melted
2 tbls sugar
2 tsp lemon zest
2 egg yolks
1 14oz can non fat sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup cranberry kiwi sauce (another 1/3 to 1/2 cup for drizzling)

Mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted margarine, sugar, and lemon zest. Press into greased 8x8 pan and bake at 350 for 10 mins.

While crust is baking combine egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk. Stir in cranberry kiwi sauce. Pour over baked crust and spread evenly. Return to oven and bake another 15 mins or until filling is set. Cool and then chill before slicing into squares.

Spoon extra 1/3 to 1/2 cup cranberry kiwi sauce into a ziplock bag.  Cut off the tip of one corner.  Pipe some squiggle designs across the tops of the squares.  Chill.


Another pic of the squares....
Make sure you don't cut the tip of your ziplock, drizzle bag too small otherwise you will end up with kiwi seed blockage.  ;)
