RASPBERRY DESSERT

Steps:

• Prepare the jello by heating 2 cups of water in the microwave for 4-5 minutes until boiling. Stir in the powdered gelatin until dissolved, then add the remaining 2 cups of cold water and stir. Place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes until thickened and syrupy.
• Crush the Nilla Wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor, blender, or by hand with a rolling pin and heavy duty ziploc bag. Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumbs and pat the remaining crumbs into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan.
• Whisk 1 and 1/2 cups of the powdered sugar, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of the cream in a medium bowl until thick but drizzly. If the mixture is too thick to drizzle add a little additional cream, one tablespoon at a time. Drizzle this over the Nilla Wafer crumbs. It's okay for some of the crumbs to peek through and there is no need to spread the creamy layer to the edges.
• Sprinkle the raspberries evenly over the creamy layer, reserving your best looking raspberries for decorating the top of the dessert when it's done.
• Pour the syrupy, cooled jello over the raspberries, then place in the fridge for 2-3 hours until completely set.
• Make the whipped cream by combining the remaining 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy cream with the remaining 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Use a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a hand mixer to beat the cream until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overbeat it. Spread in an even layer on top of the set jello.
• Sprinkle the reserved Nilla Wafer crumbs over the whipped cream, then decorate with the reserved raspberries. Slice into squares and serve.
