Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Layered Raspberry Delight.
Step 1
To create a delicious raspberry cream cheese dessert, start by mixing graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
Step 2
Once combined, pour in the melted butter and stir until everything is well blended.
Step 3
Set aside half a cup of this mixture for later use, then press the remaining crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish.
Step 4
Pop the crust into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let it firm up nicely.
Step 5
While the crust is chilling, grab another bowl and beat together softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 6
Once it’s ready, spread this creamy goodness evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Step 7
Return the dish to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese layer to set.
Step 8
Next, in a large bowl, whisk together raspberry gelatin mix and boiling water until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Step 9
Add in some fresh lemon juice for a zesty kick, then gently fold in the frozen raspberries.
Step 10
Be careful not to let the raspberries thaw too much, as this can cause the gelatin to start setting prematurely.
Step 11
Pour this vibrant raspberry mixture over the cream cheese layer, creating a beautiful contrast of colors.
Step 12
Now, it’s time to add a light and fluffy topping.
Step 13
Spread the thawed whipped topping over the raspberry layer, and don’t forget to sprinkle the reserved graham cracker mixture on top for that perfect crunch.
Step 14
Finally, let your dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Step 15
This will give it time to set beautifully, making it a delightful treat to serve.
Step 16
Enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors of this refreshing dessert that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
