❃❃Makes 24 Bars❃❃
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and line both ways with parchment paper ensuring there is an overhang to remove the bars from the pan once done and ready to cut.
Blackberry Sauce
Add 9 oz. blackberries, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then turn to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until blackberries begin to soften. Mash with a potato masher and then run through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl over ice to start to cool and to remove all seeds.
Crust
Cream butter, coconut oil and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add salt and slowly add flour until combined. Remove from bowl and pat evenly into the 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 20 – 30 minutes until the dough just begins to set. Remove from oven and let cool.
Bars
In the bowl of a stand mixer mix sugar and eggs together until well combined. Add zest, then add the lime juice, cooled blackberry juice and flour. Mix until combined and then pour evenly over the cooled crust. Bake for 40 – 45 minutes until the bars are set.
Once cooled lift the bars
out of the pan and cut into desired size bars.
Sift powdered sugar over the top the bars, lightly zest a lime over the
bars and top each with a blackberry or half a blackberry.
