Raspberry Lemon Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

For the Filling:

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Zest of 2 lemons
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Directions:

Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal.

Prepare the Crust

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.

Make the Filling

While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour. Add the eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest, whisking until well combined.

Add the Raspberries

Once the crust is ready, remove it from the oven and evenly distribute the fresh raspberries over the warm crust. Then, pour the lemon filling over the raspberries.

Bake to Perfection

Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.

Cool and Chill

Allow the Raspberry Lemon Bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once they’ve cooled to room temperature, refrigerate them for at least 2 hours to set.

Slice and Serve

Using the parchment paper overhangs, lift the bars from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Slice into squares, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve!

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

Tips

To find the juiciest raspberries, pick the ones that look big and very colorful. When you’re mixing the lemon stuff, make sure it’s all mixed up nicely so the bars turn out smooth. Don’t leave the bars in the oven for too long. Take them out when they’re set but still a little wobbly in the middle. That way, they’ll be just right!

FAQ

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries, but make sure to defrost and drain them really well before using. That way, there won’t be too much water in your bars.

If you want your bars less sweet, you can put less sugar in the crust or the filling. Just remember, it might change how they feel and taste.

Totally! You can make these bars in advance. Just keep them the way we talked about earlier, and they’ll still be super yummy when you’re ready to eat them.

Perfect Pairings for this Bars

Want to make your Raspberry Lemon Bars even better? A scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream goes great with the sweet and tangy bars. But If you like warm drinks, have your bars with a cup of hot tea or coffee. As for myself I prefer Moroccan Mint tea is my favorite drink for all my desserts and believe me it’s a great match, if you’re really into lemon, sip on a glass of cold, homemade lemonade to make the lemony goodness of your bars even more special.
