Framboise Squares

Framboise Squares

2 cups butter, softened

2 cups sugar

4 egg yolks, room temperature

4 cups flour

1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

1 teaspoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons sugar substitute

½ cup raspberry liqueur, divided

¼ cup Grand Marnier

2 cans (21 ounces each) raspberry filling

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease jelly roll pan, about 11-by-16-inches.

In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each. Add flour slowly to mix. Add walnuts. Spread half of dough into pan, pressing evenly.

In another bowl, whisk together cornstarch, sugar substitute, ¼ cup Framboise, the Grand Marnier and the raspberry filling. Pour into pan and spread evenly. Crumble remaining dough over top of filling (it will smooth out during baking.) Bake 45 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Cool completes, then sprinkle remaining liqueur on top before cutting.
