Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, blend flour, powdered sugar, and salt; add butter and pulse until sandy crumbs form. Incorporate egg yolk and press into prepared dish, pricking lightly. Freeze for 20-30 minutes, then bake for 35 minutes until golden.
  3. Bloom gelatin in cold water. In a double boiler, mix softened butter and sugar until creamy; add egg yolks, mango puree, salt, and lemon juice, cooking until thickened. Stir in melted gelatin.
  4. Strain mango curd over cooled crust, smoothing the surface. Swirl warmed raspberry jam into curd. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours until set.
  5. Using a warm knife, slice the bars, lifting them out with parchment. Cut into squares for serving.
