RASPBERRY DELITE or RASPBERRY FOOL
Crust
2 cups Flour
1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped nuts
Layer 1
2 cups powdered sugar
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
4 (1 1/3 ounce) envelopes Dream Whip (prepared)
Note: I used half again as much of everything--3 cups powdered sugar, 3 pkgs. cream cheese, I didn't have any more Dream Whip so I used 2 cups Cool Whip--I might not do that again as it made this layer very thick but...very good.
layer 2
2 (4 3/4 ounce) packages junket danish dessert mix (raspberry flavored, prepared minus 1/2 c water for each pkg.) --I forgot to leave out the 1 cup water and it was okay, I think it would be too thick the way the directions say. Maybe leave out 1/4 cup water per recipe would be okay or even 2 tablespoons.
2 (12 ounce) packages frozen raspberries
Mix ingredients for crust and press into a cookie sheet Bake 375° for 20 minutes or till golden brown. (Cool completely--I put mine in the cold garage for a half hour.) I put the flour, butter and brown sugar in the food processor, mixed until butter was in tiny pieces. I added the nuts and pulsed the machine until they were in tiny pieces.
For layer one: Mix powdered sugar and cream cheese until smooth and fold in dream whip (set aside).
For layer 2 Mix prepared danish dessert w/ frozen raspberries--while it is still warm.
Spread cream cheese mixture carefully over cooled crust and then spread raspberries on top.
Refrigerate several hours. Cut and serve. Serves 24 but sometimes there is a fool or two in the audience and it only serves 22. Or even 20! This has been known to happen at our house when Sharee brings this dessert. We find sneaky people in the kitchen--with forks and a guilty face.
