Raspberry Lemon Bars

Print Recipe

Bright and tangy raspberry lemon bars with a buttery shortbread crust and a vibrant raspberry-infused lemon filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the crust: Combine 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, mash the raspberries and strain if a smoother filling is desired.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 cup sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 2 tbsp flour until smooth.
  6. Stir in the mashed raspberries.
  7. Pour the raspberry lemon mixture over the warm crust.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the center is set.
  9. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for maximum flavor.
  • For a stronger raspberry flavor, do not strain the berries.
  • Bars slice more cleanly when fully chilled.
