These Raspberry Almond Delight Bars are a delightful twist on the classic marzipan bars, offering a perfect balance of sweet and nutty flavors.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Line an 8x8 baking pan with the pie pastry, trimming any excess edges.
Use a fork to prick the pastry to prevent bubbling.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the pastry layer.
Ensure an even layer for consistent flavor.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Room temperature butter works best for creaming.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the almond extract.
Adding eggs one at a time ensures better incorporation.
Mix in the rice flour and salt until well combined.
Sift the flour for a smoother batter.
Divide the mixture into two bowls. Color one portion pink and the other green using food coloring.
Use natural food coloring for a healthier option.
Drop spoonfuls of each colored batter alternately over the jam layer, spreading gently to cover.
Create a marbled effect by swirling the colors slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until set and lightly golden.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Cool the bars completely in the pan.
Cooling helps the layers set properly.
Mix the icing sugar and milk to create a smooth frosting. Spread over the cooled bars.
Adjust milk quantity for desired frosting consistency.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delightful creation!
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
