Prepare the Pastry:

• In a food processor, combine flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, and cold cubed butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

• Add the egg and pulse just until the dough forms. It will be soft.

• Divide the dough: wrap one-third in plastic wrap and place in the freezer; wrap the rest and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:

• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Assemble the Bars:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.

• On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9×13-inch baking dish. Press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides.

• Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust and spread evenly.

• Scatter the raspberries over the top.

Add the Topping:

• Grate the frozen dough using a box grater.

• Mix the grated dough with the ground almonds.

• Sprinkle evenly over the raspberry layer.

Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Cool and Serve:

• Let the bars cool completely in the pan for at least 3 hours, or refrigerate overnight for cleaner slices.

• Cut into bars and enjoy!
