Blackberry Lemon Curd Bars
These Blackberry Lemon Curd Bars feature a buttery shortbread crust topped with a luscious homemade lemon curd swirled with juicy blackberries, creating a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour and salt into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the crumbly mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down to form an even layer, then bake for about 15 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Gently fold in the fresh blackberries into the lemon mixture.
- Once the crust is ready, pour the blackberry-lemon curd mixture over it and bake again for 20-25 minutes, until set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
- Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
Notes
Use fresh blackberries for best results. The bars can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.
