Recipe by Nechama Fiddle.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup margarine, softened (use soy-free, if needed)

  • 8 ounces cream cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract

  • egg yolk

  • 2 and 1/4 cups flour

  • arils removed from 1/2 a pomegranate (reserve remaining for garnishing)

  • 10.5 ounces Elite White Chocolate, broken into pieces, or white chocolate chips

For the Pomegranate Frosting

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine (use soy-free, if needed)

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar, divided

Directions

Prepare the Bars

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat sugar, margarine, cream cheese, and salt.

3.

Add in vanilla extract and egg yolk. Beat until smooth. 

4.

Reduce mixer to low and stir in flour. Gently add in arils and white chocolate and stir by hand.

5.

Gently press batter into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Prepare the Bars

Yields 20 bars.

Prepare the Frosting

1.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat margarine. Add in salt and one and a half cups confectioners’ sugar.

2.

Reduce mixer to low, and stir in pomegranate juice and food coloring, if using. (Food coloring will make the frosting a stronger pink.)

3.

Add in remaining confectioners’ sugar and beat on high until creamy. Spread onto cooled pomegranate bars.

YOu definitely can freeze with the frosting. But maybe freeze first uncovered and then when frosting is hardened, cover it.
