Frozen Raspberry Dessert

My sister, Kathleen, made this wonderful dessert and I just had to have the recipe.  It is delicious and refreshing, especially on a hot summer day.

Graham Cracker Crust:

2 1/2 c graham crackers, crushed

2/3 c butter, melted

1/3 c sugar

Frozen Raspberry Filling:

8 oz cream cheese

1/2 c powdered sugar

14 oz sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp vanilla

3 c raspberries, whole

1 c heavy cream

1 c raspberries, coarsely chopped

8 oz Cool Whip

Preheat oven to 350 F and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Place graham crackers in a food processor or a large Ziploc bag to crush.  In a medium bowl, add crushed graham crackers, butter and sugar, mix well until combined.

Place the crumbs into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and press down evenly with your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup.  Bake for 10-12 minutes.  Carefully remove from oven and let cool completely.

For the frozen raspberry filling, add 3 cups of raspberries to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.  In a medium bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.  In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together.
