Lemon Raspberry Crumb Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Raspberry Crumb Bars.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, white sugar, and light brown sugar. Stir until well blended.

3. Step 3

   Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until it forms a crumbly texture. Set aside 3/4 cup of this mixture for the topping.

4. Step 4

   To the remaining crumb mixture, add the raspberry baking chips and salt, mixing well.

5. Step 5

   Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust.

6. Step 6

   Spread the lemon curd evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture on top.

7. Step 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

8. Step 8

   Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then refrigerate for about 1 hour until set.

9. Step 9

   While the bars are cooling, prepare the raspberry sauce by microwaving the raspberry preserves in a microwave-safe bowl for about 40 seconds, or until easily stirred. Stir in the raspberry liqueur and refrigerate until cool.
