Description
These no-bake bars combine tart raspberries with sweet, creamy white chocolate on a crunchy, buttery graham cracker crust. Easy to make with simple ingredients and no oven required.
Ingredients
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups (225g) fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: chopped pistachios for topping
- Optional: toasted coconut flakes for crust
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave.
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt.
- Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and stir until moistened and crumbly.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a lined 8×8-inch baking pan.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth, or use a double boiler.
- Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted white chocolate.
- If using frozen raspberries, thaw and drain excess liquid.
- Gently fold the raspberries into the melted white chocolate, keeping them as whole as possible.
- Pour the raspberry and white chocolate mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm (overnight is best).
- Lift bars out using parchment overhang and cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts.
- Serve chilled for best texture.
