# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt for the crust.
03 -
Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, cut in cold butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
04 -
Stir in egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until dough just comes together.
05 -
Press dough evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly.
06 -
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Let stand until gelatin absorbs water and blooms, about 5 minutes.
07 -
In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar until creamy and well combined.
08 -
Beat in egg yolks one at a time, then add fresh lemon juice, mixing until smooth.
09 -
Gently melt the bloomed gelatin in the microwave or over a water bath until dissolved, then cool slightly.
10 -
Blend dissolved gelatin into mango filling mixture, ensuring even distribution.
11 -
Spread mango filling evenly over the cooled crust in the pan.
12 -
Spoon raspberry jam in small dollops over mango layer and use a skewer or knife to gently swirl.
13 -
Bake at 325°F for 18–22 minutes, or until filling is just set. Remove from oven and cool in the pan.
14 -
Refrigerate bars for at least 2 hours until fully set. Lift out using parchment and slice into squares before serving.
# Extra Tips:

For clean slices, wipe your knife between cuts. Lemon juice in the filling brightens the mango flavor.
