Found this recipe on the box of the Betty Crocker Lemon Bars. The lemon bars by themselves are great, but add the raspberry preserves and you have a real treat. Lemon bar mix is not a recognized ingredient on this site, but that is what you'll need for the recipe. It can be found with the cake mixes in the grocery store. Ingredients:
1 (18 ounce) box lemon bar mix |
1/3 cup water |
3 eggs |
0.5 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup raspberry preserves |
powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F whether using metal or glass pan. 2. Stir filling mix, water and eggs using a fork (a few lumps will remain); set aside. 3. Press Ready-Mixed Crust (dry) in bottom of 8 or 9 square pan. Bake 12 minutes. 4. Drop cream cheese by spoonfuls onto hot crust and return pan to oven about 2 minutes to further soften cream cheese. Carefully spread cream cheese over crust. Stir filling mixture; pour over cream cheese. 5. Bake 35 to 4 minutes or until top begins to brown and center is set. 6. Cool 10 minutes. 7. Spread preserves over top. Cool completely, about 1 hour. 8. Sprinkle with powedered sugar. 9. For 16 bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. For ease in cutting, use sharp or wet knife. 10.
