DIRECTIONS
Before we start, heat your oven at a temperature of 163 degrees Celsius. Get a 7×11 inches baking pan. With a non-stick cooking spray, coat the pan lightly and evenly.
Start with the ingredients for the Lemon Square Crust. Put the sugar and soft butter in a mixing bowl. Blend it using a whisk until the mixture is smooth. Whisk some grated lemon zest into the mixture. One by one, put the crumbled graham cracker, sea salt, and flour into the mixing bowl. Stir the batter until it thickens.
Roll the mixture into balls and put it into the baking pan we coated earlier. Press it down and spread it evenly in the pan’s bottom using your hands until all of the bottoms are covered.

Put the baking pan into the oven we pre-heated. Bake it until the crust becomes golden brown, for around twenty to twenty-five minutes. Take it out of the oven once it is done baking. Let it cool down.
Make the Raspberry Sauce while you bake the crust. Heat the lemon juice, corn starch, and sugar for around one minute inside a small saucepan.
Put fresh raspberries in the saucepan. Set the heat to medium. Using a whisk or wooden spoon, stir the mixture. Stop when the sauce thickens and the raspberries have broken down. Take it off the heat.
Into a small bowl, strain the sauce. Make sure you take out as many seeds as possible. Put it aside. Let the sauce cool down.
Now that we are done with the sauce and crust, we can now make the Custard Filling. Put the flour, lemon zest, sugar, CBD oil and eggs in a big mixing bowl. Blend them using a whisk. Put in the freshly squeezed lemon juice little by little. Do this until you have blended the mixture well. Keep stirring and put the custard filling into the crust you baked.
Put one to two spoonsful of raspberry sauce on top of the custard filling with a spoon. You can use a sharp knife to make spirals of raspberry sauce as a design.
When you are done with that, put it into the oven. Bake it until the squares’ centers have set, for about forty minutes. Take the pan out of the oven. Let it cool down.
Slice them into bars. Use the powdered sugar to sprinkle toppings on the lemon squares. If you have any leftover raspberries, you can use those to garnish the squares.
Serve well and happy eating!
