Lemon Raspberry Smores Recipes

LEMON RASPBERRY TRIFLETTES

Steps:

• Mix liqueur and sherry and brush both sides of each of the bread strips. Arrange liqueur-soaked bread strips around the sides of 8 stemmed goblets or individual glass bowls.
• Whisk lemon curd to loosen, then whisk in zest. Beat heavy cream to soft peaks. Measure 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream and stir into lemon curd.
• Drop 5 to 6 raspberries into each of the 8 goblets or bowls. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the lemon mixture over each portion of berries, then 2 tablespoons of the whipped cream over each portion of lemon mixture. Repeat once more with berries, lemon mixture, and whipped cream. Top with remaining raspberries. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be made up to 8 hours in advance.

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.
