  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • 10 vanilla Meringue Cookies, crushed

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • Vanilla Meringue Cookies:
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1 2/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Stir together vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup whipped topping, and almond extract. Spoon mixture into a plastic wrap-lined 2-quart glass bowl, and freeze 15 minutes or until set.

  3. Stir together chocolate fudge ice cream and 1/2 cup whipped topping. Spread over cookie crumb mixture. Cover and freeze 3 hours or until firm.

  4. Process raspberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a small saucepan; discard seeds. Bring raspberry puree, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil, stirring constantly; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened.

  5. Remove ice-cream mixture from freezer. Dip glass bowl in warm water 15 seconds. Invert onto a serving dish, discarding plastic wrap. Cut ice cream into wedges; serve with raspberry sauce and, if desired, remaining whipped topping.
