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 (for custard)
  • 1/3 cup corn starch (for custard)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup reduced raspberry puree
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Blend raspberries until smooth or heat frozen raspberries until they break down. This step intensifies the flavor.
  2. Make the Shortbread Crust: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Mix in melted butter until crumbly. Press into a greased baking dish and pre-bake for a crispy texture.
  3. Prepare the Custard Mixture: Whisk together sugar and cornstarch; add eggs one at a time while mixing. Stir in raspberry puree and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Bake Together: Pour custard over the crust and bake until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow bars to cool completely before cutting into squares. For extra refreshment, chill before serving.
