Frozen Pistachio Dessert with Raspberry Sauce



Raspberry sauce brings bright flavor and a touch of holiday color to this cool and creamy treat, while pistachios add a lick of saltiness. It'll melt any resistance to dessert! Suzette Jury - Keene, California

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 35 min. + freezing
Ingredients:

* 1-1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 45 wafers)
* 1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
* 1/4 cup reduced-fat butter, melted
* 1-1/4 cups fat-free milk
* 1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant pistachio pudding mix
* 6 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese

* 1 package (12 ounces) frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
* 2 tablespoons sugar

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the wafers, finely chopped pistachios and butter. Press onto the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan coated with cooking spray. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the pudding.
Set aside 3/4 cup whipped topping for garnish; fold remaining whipped topping into cream cheese mixture. Pour filling over crust. Freeze for 5 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining whipped topping.
For sauce, place the raspberries, sugar and liqueur in a food processor. Cover and process for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Strain and discard seeds and pulp. Refrigerate until serving.
