Raspberry Jello Salad



Recipe: Simplify Supper

1 package cream cheese, 8 ounce size
1/2 pint whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 package raspberry jello
1 package frozen raspberries
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 1/2 cups graham crackers, smashed
1/2 cup butter, melted

Start by mixing jello into 2 cups boiling water. When dissolved, remove from heat and add raspberries and lemon juice. Set aside to and let it set up while adding smashed graham crackers to melted butter, reserving a small amount of the graham crackers to use later. Press graham cracker and butter mixture into bottom of sprayed 9x13 pan. Mix cream cheese with a little bit of milk until smooth. Add powdered sugar and whipping cream and mix well. Pour half of the cream mixture on top of the graham cracker crust, then put all of the jello then the rest of the cream mixture. Top with the small amount of reserved graham cracker for garnish. Let set several hours in the fridge.

Very good! But, I'd call it more of a dessert than a salad. Raspberries are my favorite, so how could I not like it, right?
