Raspberry Delight

Submitted by Minxkat1

"Refreshing dessert, fit for company but easy enough to make for a family dinner. Prep time includes refrigeration for the jello to start to set, I'm guessing it takes around 20 minutes or so. I prefer this recipe with fresh raspberries, but frozen works just as well. The serving size is also an estimate, I used a lasagna pan to make it in and it served 13 last Thanksgiving - it really depends how big you cut the squares."

5 stars all the way. Made this with fresh picked raspberrys. What a wonderful flavor. My oven is broke so I used to boughten graham cracker pie shells and it still turned out great.

My grandmother used to make this dessert and I could never get enough. The mixture of sweet whipped cream and tart berries is great for those that want a little of each.
