Raspberry Delight
by Melissa Summers
This is my mom's recipe I remember her making and I loved it. I decided to make it for Thanksgiving this year and it was just as good as I remember it. It is very rich, a little goes a long way. So you may want to half the recipe if you are just making it for your family.

Raspberry Delight

By Melissa Summers

Combine:

2 cups flour

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Press into 9 X 13 pan and bake at 375 degrees until 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Be careful not to let it cook to long. You don't want the crust to be hard. Remove from oven and cool and then crumble up crust and place 1/2 of the crumbs in bottom of the same pan and pat down. Save the rest of the crumbs for later in the recipe.

Combine thoroughly:

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese

1 cup powdered sugar

Whip 2 cups of whipping cream and add 1 tsp. vanilla and add to cream cheese mixture. Smooth evenly over crumbs, then cover with remaining crumbs. Chill thoroughly.

Top with the following:

Mix 1 package raspberry jello and 1 1/2 cups of boiling water for 2 minutes. Add as many frozen raspberries as you would like, could be a lot or just a little. Let cool and then pour over cream cheese mixture in pan.

Chill thoroughly. Serves 24.
