No stress!! My family obviously loves desserts!
If you love fresh raspberries, you MUST give this recipe a try.
I promise, you will fall in love with the flavors, just as my family did. Raspberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins! Raspberries are in season during the summer, but luckily, you can buy them all year round!

I bought the ingredients for this dessert at one of my favorite places for bargains, Smart & Final. Did you know Smart & Final has tons of gluten free and organic products? This is the place I go to stock up on my kids' favorite gluten free pasta too...it is 1/2 the price at Smart & Final!!
I picked up all of the ingredients to make this dessert and a few extras. Do you like to find new bargains to use in recipes? The only thing I added from my pantry was gluten free flour. Hopefully Smart & Final will add this to their products soon :-).
Ingredients:
- Butter
- Sugar
- Gluten free flour blend
- Almond flour
- Raspberries
- Raspberry jam
- Almonds
- Cream cheese
Did you know that Smart & Final donates back a percentage of each and every First Street sale to their local communities? I love when a company gives back to their community.
Instructions:
Add all of the crust ingredients into a bowl. Whisk to blend.
Your crumble will look textured like this when you mix it all together.
Press the crust into a baking dish.
Spread on raspberry jam.
Add fresh raspberries.
Add dollops of cream cheese.
Add slivered almond layer.
Add the final crumble layer and bake.
Can you use frozen raspberries?
You can use frozen raspberries, but they will add extra moisture to these bars.
How long do you bake?
You will want to bake these bars on 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. If you used frozen raspberries, you will need to bake it longer due to the extra moisture.

Your bars are currently baking in my oven and I had a bit of a heart attack because I remembered seeing eggs in the picture of ingredients and remembering putting 0 eggs in the bars. So I double checked the recipe and breathed a sigh of relief. The recipe doesn't call for eggs. Crisis adverted. Bake on bars, bake on!

Sandi- this is for you. I don't know if you really read these which is why I haven't commented on anything until now. I was diagnosed with Celiac at the age of 60 1 year ago. I came upon your blog. I download, copy and save almost most of your recipes. I have joined 2 farmers markets; a 3-day boutique 3x's per year; and a food truck 1x/mo. I hand make homemade goods. I started 9 months ago to add GLUTEN Free and LACTOSE Free baked goodies. I sell them for little, until I think I am worth more. 70% of my sales have been on your recipes!!!!! You are amazing! I have learned SO much from you. I embellish and improvise, but your tutelage and information have taught me how and allowed me to do so. I truly thank you, from the bottom of my heat. Of all of the 100 items I have baked from your recipes, I have received only one complaint. The Gingerbread donuts didn't have enough ginger in them. Yet- these are my number 1 seller!!!

Wow Charlie, thank you for your note. I am so glad you enjoy my recipes. I would ask a favor that you direct your customers to my blog so that they can read it and see my recipes as well. Most of the money I make on my blog goes to pay my daughter's medical bills. The little money I make on ad revenue is based on traffic to my blog. (I also tell everyone to watch out for ticks. They are really bad and 50% of people do not get a bullseye rash when bitten.)

These bars disappear so fast! No one ever complains when I make them ?
Sandi Gaertner
LOL, your family is like mine. No desserts last long.
