Description
Raspberry Kuchen is a delightful, easy-to-make summer fruit dessert featuring a buttery crust topped with fresh raspberries and a creamy custard-like filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 13×9-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup of flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and press this dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Combine the sugar and remaining 1/2 cup of flour in a small bowl. Sprinkle this sugar-flour mixture evenly over the pressed crust to add a sweet base layer.
- Spread the fresh raspberries evenly over the sugar-flour layer, distributing the fruit uniformly for balanced flavor in every bite.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sugar and remaining flour. Whisk in the beaten eggs, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this custard mixture gently over the raspberries in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the custard has set.
- Allow the kuchen to cool slightly. Serve warm or cold according to preference. Optionally, dust the top with confectioners’ sugar for a pretty finishing touch.
