How to Make Chocolate Raspberry Layer Bars
- **Make the crust:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup powdered sugar.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **Make the filling:** While the crust is still warm, spread 1 cup raspberry jam evenly over the surface.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 ounces of white chocolate chips according to package directions.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened) and ½ cup heavy cream until smooth.
- Gradually add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined.
- Spread the white chocolate mixture evenly over the raspberry jam layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
- **Make the topping:** In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the white chocolate layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the topping is set. (Total chilling time: approximately 2 hours)
- Cut into squares or triangles and serve.
