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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust just starts to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • 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.

Overall, I thought these raspberry lemon bars were pretty good. They were easy to make and they tasted good. However, I think I would have liked them better if they were a little less sweet.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I love lemon bars, and these raspberry lemon bars are even better! The raspberry flavor adds a nice tartness that perfectly complements the sweetness of the lemon.

These bars were easy to make and they turned out great! The only problem is that they didn't last long. My family ate them all in one day!

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but these bars were surprisingly good. The raspberry flavor really helped to balance out the tartness of the lemon.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the filling. Otherwise, they were perfect.

I was looking for a new lemon bar recipe to try, and this one did not disappoint. The raspberry addition was a nice touch. The bars were tart and sweet, and the crust was perfectly flaky.

These raspberry lemon bars were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of tangy lemon and sweet raspberries was perfect, and the crust was buttery and flaky. I'll definitely be making these again.
