RASPBERRY CREAM DESSERT

We recently celebrated my baby girl’s first birthday. It was such a fun day filled with family and LOTS of swimming. And of course, where my family is, there good food will be also.

My mom brought this INCREDIBLE Raspberry Cream Dessert that she created. Let me tell you, it was the hit of the party. My dad, who rarely RAVES about food, could not stop talking about this dessert.

The crust is buttery, sweet and has pecans throughout. It is such a needed component of the dessert to balance out the soft layers of cream and raspberry sauce. It provides a nice balance.

The cream layer is sweet layer of whipped cream and cream cheese.

The raspberry sauce is the perfect blend of tart and sweet. It is honestly my favorite part of the whole dessert.

This Raspberry Cream Dessert will be the the start wherever it goes. It is absolutely delectable and a MUST TRY!

    I think there's a mistake in the cream filling layer. It calls for 4 cups heavy whipping cream and I believe it should be 2 cups. I made this for an event this evening and when I added the raspberry sauce, it all sunk into the cream because I used 4 cups. I'm still going to use the dessert and top with more fresh raspberries because I have a big investment in this now. Fingers crossed that it will be a success. I'm disappointed that it didn't turn out as pictured.
