Vanilla Orange Ginger Basil Graham Bars

Crust:
2 sleeves graham crackers
12 Tbs. melted butter
2 Tbs. fresh basil, finely chopped

Filling:
16 oz. cream cheese, softened

2 cups Orange Marmalade
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Topping:
1/2 cup candied ginger, chopped
fresh basil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In the bowl of a large food processor, process the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and basil and pulse until well combined.

Line the base of a quick-release pan with parchment and push the crust into the pan evenly.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

While cooling, rinse the food processor bowl and wipe dry.

Add the cream cheese, Marmalade, and vanilla and process until smooth.

Once the crust has cooled, fill it with the creamy orange mixture.

Top with candied ginger and allow to chill for at least 4 hours.

Sprinkle with fresh basil before cutting to serve.
