When my best friend delivered the most perfect raspberries, she just hand picked, along with homemade raspberry preserves to my front porch and the mail woman brought me Edd Kimber’s newest book, One Tin Bakes, that’s kismet. I opened the book to the page with the Raspberry Cheesecake Streusel Bars and that evening my family was devouring them. That’s the hidden secret of bars, they’re rustic in their beauty, but magnificent in flavor. and super simple to make. After eating way too many of them, my family declared they are just a little TOO GOOD! Seriously folks, this will become a favorite recipe. One you’ll bring to every school function, picnic, family gathering and the treat you snuggle on the couch with while binge watching the GBBO. There are so many simple and delicious looking recipes in Edd’s book, I’ll be baking from it a lot.
I shared some of the bars with Jen (the raspberry picker) and her family. They confirmed that these bars a bit dangerous to have around. I like living on the edge, so I’ll be making them again and again and again!

I made this but didn’t like it.
The crust was so hard. I baked it less time than what he said. Also it is not sweet. This is the second recipe from his book and didn’t work I don’t know why.
Love all your recipes!!!
Is there a substitute for vanilla bean paste? When I finally found it, it was very expensive.
Hi Barbara,
You can always use vanilla extract or a vanilla bean. Pure vanilla is expensive, because of the labor involved in harvesting vanilla beans.
Thanks, Zoë
can frozen raspberries be used?
I used frozen raspberries, it worked great! I did have to add maybe 5 minutes to the baking time.
Thank you for the tip!
Where is the instagram video? I cannot find it. Thanks
Hi Christine, Here is a direct link to the video. It’s saved in her Instagram story highlights.
