Yield Makes 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the crust:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature, plus more for pan
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
For the filling:
1 pint raspberries
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon pomegranate juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Powdered sugar(for dusting)
Special equipment:
An 8x8x2" baking pan

Steps:

  • Make the crust:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease 8x8" baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Line pan with parchment, leaving a generous overhang on all sides, and grease parchment with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Purée flour, powdered sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a food processor until combined. Add 6 Tbsp. butter and pulse just until dough forms.
  • Press dough into bottom of prepared pan and about 1/2" up sides. Chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Prick bottom of crust with a fork and bake until light golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Make the filling and bake bars:
  • Purée raspberries in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl.
  • Whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in another medium bowl. Whisk in pomegranate juice, salt, and 1/4 cup raspberry purée until smooth, then whisk in flour until combined. (Reserve remaining raspberry purée for other use.) Pour filling into crust and bake until filling is set and slightly golden at the edges, about 20 minutes more.
  • Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Loosen edges with an offset spatula or butter knife, then use parchment paper overhang to remove bar from pan. Place bar on parchment on a cutting board and cut into 4 pieces lengthwise, then 4 pieces crosswise to make 16 bars. Dust bars with powdered sugar.
  • Do Ahead
  • Raspberry purée can be made and chilled in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Assembled bars can be chilled in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

RASPBERRY-LEMON BARS



Raspberry-Lemon Bars image

My raspberry-lemon bars are perfect for summer and easy to make. I start with a shortbread crust, then double the lemon filling that you'll find in most recipes, adding lemon oil and zest for extra flavor. Then let them cool, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh summer raspberries. Also good served with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup powdered sugar
4 large eggs
¾ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
½ teaspoon pure lemon extract
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or as needed
1 ½ cups fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl and stir to combine. Pat the dough into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking pan using your fingers. Prick the crust all over with a fork to keep it from rising in the oven.

  • Combine eggs, white sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract in a mixing bowl. Beat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Whisk flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl, then add to the lemon mixture. Continue to beat until the lemon filling is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the lemon filling on top of the pre-baked pastry crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, 23 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Cut into 6 bars, then dust with powdered sugar. Top each bar with fresh raspberries.

PINK RASPBERRY LEMONADE BARS



Pink Raspberry Lemonade Bars image

I have made these for several years now for Christmas and they are loved by everyone. It is a very different bar cookie but very tasty and beautiful too. I found this a few years ago in one of my Woman's Day magazines. If you love sour and sweet these you will love. I hope you enjoy. I tried adding raspberries to these and it turned out delicious. So, I am adding it to the recipe too.

Time 7h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup flour
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cold water
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
16 ounces fresh raspberries
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cold water
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 cup heavy cream, cold
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 drop yellow food coloring, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Blend together flour, butter, and sugar using an electric mixer in a medium-sized bowl. Press shortbread mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x9-inch baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until firm and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Place cold water in a bowl to prepare raspberry filling. Sprinkle gelatin over water; stir. Let stand to soften, about 1 minute.
  • Puree raspberries using a food processor. Press berry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a medium saucepan; discard the seeds. Stir in gelatin mixture, sugar, and lemon juice.
  • Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently while skimming foam from sides of saucepan using a slotted spoon, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently until bright in color, thickened, and reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour raspberry filling over shortbread and let cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • Place cold water for lemon mousse in another bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water; stir. Let stand to soften, about 1 minute. Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Mixture will be clear.
  • Combine heavy cream, sugar, lemon juice, lemon extract, and yellow food coloring in a large, cold, mixing bowl. Beat mixture at medium speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Pour in gelatin mixture and beat until well blended. Pour lemon mousse over firm raspberry filling and spread to cover. Allow to set completely, about 4 hours, before cutting into bars.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before using. This will help them cream together smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense bars.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will dry them out.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a microplane grater to zest the lemon.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pink Raspberry Lemonade Bars are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your bars tart or sweet, these bars are sure to please. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give Pink Raspberry Lemonade Bars a try!
