I made this quick and simple dessert a little while back for my Bible Study girl. This dessert is SO quick and easy. The only recommendation I have is to use less lemon; it came out a little too lemony for myself and some of the girl. But you can also make this dessert with strawberries, blueberries, & pretty much any fruit. This recipe was taken from My Baking Addiction. Enjoy!
CRUST
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbsFILLING
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup sugarDIRECTIONS
zest on 2 lemons
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup fresh raspberries, slightly mashed with a fork
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and 1 tablespoon of sugar and melted butter. Evenly divide the crumbs between your individual serving dishes and press into the bottoms of the dishes to form a crust layer.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the sugar and lemon zest until the sugar becomes moist and fragrant. Add cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add lemon juice and vanilla mixing to combine. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped topping until well blended, then fold in the raspberries.
3. Evenly pipe or spoon the filling into individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprig of fresh mint.
