  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted

  • 1 cup Fresh Lemons juiced
  • 1 cup Raspberries fresh
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
For Serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. Combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
  3. Allow the crust to cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup lemon juice, zest of two lemons, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 beaten eggs, and 1/4 cup flour until smooth.
  5. Blend 1 cup raspberries until smooth and strain through a sieve. Fold half of the lemon mixture into the raspberry puree.
  6. Pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust. Drop raspberry mixture over the lemon filling and swirl together without over-mixing.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  8. Remove from the pan using parchment edges, dust with powdered sugar, cut into squares, and serve chilled.
