  6. Add to the crust: Pour the mango curd mixture over the baked crust.
  7. Swirl in the raspberries: Drop spoonfuls of raspberry puree on top and swirl gently.
  8. Bake again: Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the curd is just set.
  9. Cool and cut: Let cool on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
  10. Enjoy: Serve chilled with a dusting of powdered sugar or whipped cream.

Notes

These bars are best enjoyed chilled. Experiment with different fruits for swirling.
