Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the lemon filling:

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)

Zest of 2 lemons

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 ½ cups heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the raspberry layer:

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch square baking dish to form an even layer. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

    Make the lemon filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and eggs until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until it's well combined and smooth.

      Layer the filling: Pour the lemon filling over the chilled crust and spread it into an even layer. Place it back in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

        Prepare the raspberry layer: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the raspberries soften and release their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

          Assemble the squares: Once the lemon layer is set, pour the raspberry layer over the top, spreading it evenly. Return to the refrigerator for another hour to chill and let the layers meld.

            Serve: Once chilled and set, cut the squares into desired portions. Garnish with extra raspberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.
