Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup raspberry preserves
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon tartar powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving some paper hanging over the edges.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, confectioners’ sugar, and sea salt.
  4. Incorporate the softened butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a sandy texture.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the prepared dish to create a smooth layer.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust turns a light golden color.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  8. Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the cooled crust, then scatter the fresh raspberries on top.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and tartar powder until soft peaks form.
  10. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks are achieved.
  11. Fold in the vanilla extract gently.
  12. Spread the meringue mixture over the raspberries and preserves, sealing the edges well.
  13. Create decorative peaks and swirls on the meringue with a spatula.
  14. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden.
  15. Allow the bars to cool completely in the dish.
  16. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a delightful variation, consider swapping the raspberry preserves with other fruit flavors like strawberry or blueberry.
