Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang for easy removal.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
4
While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon curd. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
5
Add the confectioners' sugar to the bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour the lemon curd over the baked crust and smooth the top.
6
Arrange the fresh raspberries on top of the lemon curd, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
7
Refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set. Cut into bars and serve chilled.
