"This is from one of those coupon and recipe booklets that accompanied my TOH magazine; the recipe is from Nestle. Since raspberry season is around the corner, I wanted to make sure I didn't lose the recipe! It sounds yummy and simple. Times are guesses for now."

Since my dad is diabetic, my sister and I tweaked this a bit. We used sugar-free preserves, lite cream cheese, sugar-free pudding, skim evaporated milk, and sugar-free whipped topping. Tastes great and what a treat for a diabetic!
