Print Recipe

A delightful treat that combines the tangy flavor of lemons with the sweetness of raspberries, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup corn starch
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup reduced raspberry puree
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

  1. Start by heating 2 cups of raspberries in a saucepan over medium heat. Mash them gently as they cook until you’ve got a thick puree, then strain to remove the seeds. Reduce it until you have about 1/4 cup of raspberry puree.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix 2 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon corn starch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of a lined baking pan and bake for 20 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/3 cup corn starch, and 6 eggs until smooth. Stir in the reduced raspberry puree and lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the baked crust and return it to the oven for another 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  4. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. You can serve them plain or dust them with powdered sugar, or enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Adjust sugar levels to taste if the bars are too tart.
