Makes 24 bars

  4. In a mixer beat the cream cheese for about 30 seconds then add in the sugar and flour until blended. With the mixer running add your eggs, lemon zest, juice, and vanilla. Mix it all until smooth. Pour over the raspberries and tilt the pan just a bit so it goes throughout the bars.

  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, just until set. Cool for an hour at room temperature then place in the fridge to cool for 2 hours. When you're ready to enjoy them either cut them straight out of the pan or lift them out with the aluminum foil and cut them up from there.
