Time 1h5m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
½ cup packed brown sugar
7 ounces almond paste
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup seedless red raspberry jam
3 egg whites
½ cup white sugar
½ cup flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with greased aluminum foil.
  • To make the Crust: In a large bowl, mix together the butter, almond paste, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in one egg and the almond extract. Mix in the flour and stir until well blended.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. Cool slightly, and spread the raspberry preserves over the crust.
  • In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar until peaks become stiff. Spread the meringue over the jam and sprinkle with coconut.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until firm. Let cool on wire racks. Lift foil from pan and cut bars with a sharp knife.

These bars were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more filling next time.

I had trouble getting the meringue to brown. I ended up putting the bars under the broiler for a few minutes.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! The only change I made was to use fresh raspberries instead of frozen. I will definitely be making these again.

The meringue on these bars was a bit too soft for my liking, but the rest of the bar was delicious. The crust was flaky and the filling was smooth and creamy.
