Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the lemon zest. Gradually add in the all-purpose flour and kosher salt until just combined. Press the dough evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, then bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add in the fresh raspberries and continuously stir until thickened, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, letting it cool down while you prepare the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually add in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, whisking until well combined. Pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cooled raspberry puree over the lemon filling. Swirl the raspberry puree into the lemon filling using a toothpick or skewer to create a marbled effect, being careful not to disturb the crust.
- Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. The filling should be set in the center and slightly jiggly when done. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the bars for at least one hour to set properly before cutting. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
