2. In a small bowl, beat butter and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tbsp. lemon juice, flour and salt; mix well. Press into prepared pan. Bake at 350F for 14-16 minutes or until edges are golden brown,
3. Meanwhile, combine cream cheeses and remaining sugar until smooth. Add egg; beat on low speed until combined. Stir in lemon peel and remaining lemon juice. Pour over crust. Bake 14-18 minutes longer or until filling is set.
4. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Using foil, lift bars out of pan. Gently peel off foil; cut into 18 triangular bars and garnish with raspberries,

Serving Size: Makes 18 triangular bars.
