--> Crust
1/2 cup walnuts, lightly toasted (see Tip)
1 cup graham cracker crumbs, preferably whole-wheat (see Note)
1 large egg white
1 Tbsp butter, melted
1 Tbsp peanut or canola oil
Pinch of salt
--> Filling
8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup PLUS 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup, preferably grade B, divided
2 cups fresh blueberries
To prepare crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Coarsely chop walnuts in a food processor. Add graham cracker crumbs
and process until the mixture looks like fine crumbs.
Whisk egg white in a medium bowl until frothy. Add the crumb mixture,
butter, oil and salt; toss to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom
and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan. Set the
pan on a baking sheet. Bake until dry and slightly darker around the
edges, about 8 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
To prepare filling: Beat cream cheese, sour cream and 1/4 cup maple syrup
in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. When
the crust is cool, spread the filling evenly into it, being careful not
to break up the delicate crust. Arrange blueberries on the filling,
pressing lightly so they set in. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons
maple syrup over the berries. Chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Make Ahead Tip: Refrigerate for up to 1 day.
Equipment: 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan
Tip: To toast walnuts, spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes.
Note: To avoid trans fats, look for graham crackers without partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. To make crumbs, pulse graham crackers in a food processor or place in a large sealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. (You'll need about 14 whole-wheat graham cracker squares to make 1 cup of crumbs.)
