Raspberry squares are a delightful dessert of European cuisine that combines a crunchy nut-flour base with a juicy raspberry filling. Their history begins in traditional pastries where berries were used to add freshness and a slight tartness. The aroma of cinnamon and nuts makes the taste warm and cozy, while powdered sugar adds a delicate sweetness. Raspberry squares are perfect for morning coffee or afternoon tea. They are convenient to take as a snack and can also be served at festive tables. The simplicity of preparation and harmony of flavors make this dessert a favorite for many — tender, crunchy, with a bright raspberry accent, it will be a true decoration of your baking.
