This recipe is more than 30 years old. It was my mother's favourite dessert but she would never give out the recipe. As I doubt that anyone here will be at my next dinner party, I am happy to share with fellow e-trainers. Enjoy. :glomp:


RASPBERRY DELIGHT

1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
10 oz. package frozen raspberries, thawed
1/2 cup cream (whipped)

Combine crumbs and melted butter in mixing bowl; reserve 1/4 cup for topping. Press remainder into bottom of a 9 inch square pan. Chill.
Cream butter, gradually adding icing sugar. Add eggs one at at time, beat mixture until light and fluffy. Spread over chilled crumbs in pan. Chill.
To prepare filling, combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add raspberies and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and clear. Cool.
Pour cooled raspberry mixture over crumb mixture in cake pan and spread whipped cream over top. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Chill several hours, or overnight.

This Fruit Pizza is so good and so easy to make:

Berry Fruit Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

* 18 oz. Refrigerated Cookie Dough (sugar cookie or chocolate chip are best)
* 8 oz. package Cream Cheese, softened
* 1/3 cup Sugar (or the equivalent in Splenda)
* Roughly 4 cups Assorted Fruit (We prefer blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and kiwi for aesthetics and flavor, but try peaches, bananas dipped in lemon juice, apples, or any other fruit you fancy.)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Take cream cheese out of the refrigerator to soften.
3. Place cookie dough on center of baking stone or nonstick cookie sheet (We usually set aside about ¼ of the dough for a future use to help the cookie fit our 14” baking stone without overflowing.)
4. Flatten with your hand.
5. Roll the dough out, using a lightly floured roller, to almost cover the pan.
6. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. (Do not over bake.)
7. Wash and Slice fruit while cookie is baking. (Note: The Pampered Chef egg slicer is perfect for slicing strawberries and kiwi.)
8. Cool 10 minutes.
9. Loosen cookie with a long, serrated knife.
10. Cool completely.
11. While cookie is cooling, combine cream cheese and sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
12. Spread mixture on top of the cooled cookie.
13. Arrange fruit slices and pieces in a circular (or any) pattern on top of cream cheese mixture.
14. Slice using a pizza cutter.
15. Enjoy.

Notes: This sugar cookie fruit pizza can be made with Crescent Roll Dough substitute for the Cookie Dough, making it a little less sweet. For theme parties or holidays, try shaping the cookie into something other than a circle. For instance, this is a perfect 4th of July treat, with a rectangular cookie and red, white, and blue fruits to form an American flag. A giant oval Easter egg, a red and white striped candy cane (leave fruit off for the white stripes (let me know if you find a white fruit!) for Christmas, or a holiday wreath can all work beautifully.

I just made a wonderful sugarless, flourless Peanut Butter Cookie for anyone needing low carbs, and they are delicious! A friend brought some over to a dinner party recently and this is a slight variation I did:
Mix 1 cup smooth/creamy peanut butter with 1 cup Splenda (I used part brown Sugar Twin). When well mixed, stir in 1 unbeaten egg and 1 tsp. vanilla till well-mixed, then add 1 tsp baking soda and again stir well. Roll into about 24 small balls (about 1 tsp. each) and place on ungreased cookie sheet, flattening with fork in cross-hatch fashion. Bake in preheated oven at 350 for about 8 minutes until light brown, then top with chocolate chip or dark chocolate drop when just out of the oven. They are great, easy and delicious even if you aren't watching carbs.

I will have to try this. I am diabetic so always looking for low carb sweets.
