LEMON RASPBERRY CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
• Mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Measure out 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture and set aside to use for the topping. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• While crust bakes, prepare filling: Mix together white sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well combined.
• Remove crust from oven and scatter raspberries evenly over top. Pour filling evenly over the raspberries, then sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture randomly over top.
• Place pan back into the oven and bake until bars are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow bars to cool completely in the pan, 30 to 45 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to remove from the pan and cut into 9 bars.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
• Stir melted butter, white sugar, and light brown sugar together. Stir in flour to form a crumbly mixture. Set 3/4 cup of the mixture aside for the topping. Add raspberry baking chips and salt to the remaining mixture.
• Pour raspberry crumb mixture into the prepared pan, distributing it evenly. Use the back of a spoon to press the crumb mixture down into the pan to form a level crust. Spread lemon curd over the crust and top with the reserved crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then refrigerate until bars are set, about 1 hour.
• While the bars are cooling, make the raspberry sauce. Place raspberry preserves in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until easily stirred with a spoon, about 40 seconds. Stir in raspberry liqueur and refrigerate until cool.

• 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.
