Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Purée by heating raspberries in a saucepan until they break down, about 6–8 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Crust by combining flour, 1/2 cup sugar, corn starch, and salt, then mixing in melted butter.
- Press the crust mixture into the baking pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden.
- Whip Up the Filling by whisking together 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/3 cup corn starch, and salt, then adding the eggs one at a time, followed by the raspberry purée and lemon juice.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the center is set.
- Cool on a wire rack for about an hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
