Blood Orange Bars
Blood Orange Bars
Blood Orange Bars are a sweet and tangy dessert made with blood orange juice, zest, and a shortbread crust. They are typically baked in a rectangular baking dish, then cut into bars for easy serving.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Ingredients for the filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh blood orange juice
- 2 tablespoons blood orange zest
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- To make the crust, cream the softened butter and sugar together until smooth in a large mixing bowl. Add in the flour and salt, and continue mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, then bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, make the filling by whisking together the blood orange juice, zest, flour, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and frothy, then fold in the dry ingredients until well mixed.
- Pour the filling mixture over the baked crust and return the pan to the oven to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before removing them from the pan and dusting with powdered sugar.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled.
