Overview:

Raspberry Squares are a delightful dessert that perfectly balances the sweetness of raspberry jam with the richness of a coconut-infused topping. This recipe, discovered in the Company’s Coming cookbook series, has been a favorite for many, offering a quick and easy solution for those craving a fruity treat. With a prep time of just 15 minutes and a total cook time of 30 minutes, you’ll have these delectable squares ready to enjoy in under an hour.

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 cups coconut
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions:

  1. Bottom Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and margarine. Mix well until the texture becomes crumbly.

  2. Press In Pan: Grease a 9×9 inch pan, then press the crumbly mixture evenly into the bottom to form the first layer.

  3. Add Filling: Spread a generous layer of raspberry jam over the bottom crust, ensuring even coverage for a burst of fruity flavor in every bite.

  4. Top Layer: In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add in the sugar, coconut, vanilla, and baking powder. Stir the mixture until well combined.

  5. Spread Over Jam: Carefully spread the coconut mixture over the raspberry jam layer, covering it completely.

  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled raspberry squares into the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly browned.

  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the raspberry squares to cool in the pan before cutting them into 36 equally sized squares. This ensures clean, neat slices for presentation.
