How to Make Mom's Raspberry Delights

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 11x7x2 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 large egg yolk and 1 tablespoon brandy or milk until just combined.
  5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Spread 1 cup raspberry jam evenly over the dough.
  7. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until thick and pale yellow.
  8. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  9. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
  10. Fold in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
  11. Spoon the meringue mixture evenly over the raspberry jam layer.
  12. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown and the crust is set.
  13. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. For best results, refrigerate or freeze overnight before serving.
