| 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. |

| 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. |
