Tips:
- To ensure the shortbread crust bakes evenly, use a light-colored metal baking pan.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make sure the butter is cold before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help prevent the crust from becoming tough.
- Bake the crust until it is golden brown on the edges. This will help ensure that it is cooked through.
- Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the raspberry filling.
- If the raspberry filling is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Make sure the raspberry filling is cold before adding it to the whipped cream.
- When whipping the cream, be careful not to over-whip it. Otherwise, it will become grainy.
- For a more elegant presentation, you can pipe the whipped cream onto the raspberry filling.
- Garnish the raspberry cream bars with fresh raspberries or mint leaves before serving.
