How to make Raspberry Mascarpone Slices with Nuts

Ingredients:

250 g Butterkekse
100 g chopped nuts (hazelnuts or almonds)
100 g melted butter
250 g Mascarpone
200 ml cream
100 g sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
A pinch of salt
250-300 g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
2-3 tbsp raspberry puree or lightly crushed raspberries
150-200 g fresh raspberries
50 g chopped walnuts (preferably roasted)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions:

Prepare the base: Finely crumble the Butterkekse and mix them with the chopped nuts. Add the melted butter and combine well. Press this mixture into a rectangular pan lined with parchment paper (about 20×30 cm). Chill in the fridge, or bake at 180°C for 10 minutes for more stability.
Make the cream: In a mixing bowl, whip together the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon juice, and salt until creamy. Fold in the whipped cream gently until well combined.
First layer of raspberries: Crush the raspberries slightly and spread them evenly over the prepared base, letting some sink into the creamy goodness.
Final layers: Pour the mascarpone mixture over the raspberries, smoothing it to cover them. Top with the remaining fresh raspberries and sprinkle with chopped walnuts for that extra crunch.
