Lemon Raspberry Custard Dessert Bars

The best parts of this dessert are the raspberry jam and white chocolate drizzle.  The lemon juice adds a fresh tang that is perfect for spring and summer! We have a couple other desserts with raspberry jam that we crave Raspberry German Crumb Cake Bars.

My mom has had this recipe for years.  She has collected farm magazines for decades and adapted recipes as she has time and need for a new dish.  She whipped this dessert up and told me that it’s so good I had to add it to my blog.  Since mom is always right I hope you enjoy this dessert as much as we do.

Another dessert with raspberry flavors that we love is our Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake with a raspberry sauce!

How to Make Sunshine Lemon-Raspberry Bars

Beat butter in mixing bowl, then add powdered sugar.  Add flour and press the dough into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.  Bake until golden.

Combine eggs, sugar, lemon juice, more flour and baking powder.  Pour this mixture over the hot crust and bake longer until the custard is set and the top is golden.

Melt the jam in a microwave safe bowl and pour over lemon bars.  Cool completely.

Melt vanilla baking chips and drizzle over cooled bars.  Store in the refrigerator.
