Frozen Raspberry Dessert

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This frozen raspberry dessert is a fruity dream! Filled with fresh raspberries, sugar, and creamy goodness, this recipe is almost like an ice cream pie. It’s the perfect dish for the hot summer months. I’ll let you in on a secret, though, it’s also great the rest of the year, too!

I’m a big fan of frozen desserts. Down here in Texas, you tend to become a fan of anything cold. After all, the summers are searing and the winters are more like early spring in a lot of other parts of the country. I’ve been serving up frozen desserts and cold drinks for years at all of our parties and even just on weekday evenings to help beat the heat for as long as I can remember. I’ve made everything from pudding pies to ice cream cakes, slushies, and everything in between. 

Lately, though, I’ve been making this frozen raspberry dessert quite a bit. My family loves the fresh raspberry flavor and creamy, cold goodness. I love that it doesn’t take a ton of work, either!

Frozen Raspberry Dessert

This dessert has everything you’ll ever want in a refreshing, cold summer dessert. There’s nothing like a big slice of these delicious, refreshing dessert on a hot day. Every time I serve it, it goes fast. Really fast. In fact, I’ll often make a double batch if I’m bringing it to any kind of get-together. 

The flavors of this frozen raspberry dessert are just so fantastic. It’s full of fresh raspberries – a whopping three cups, in fact! It also uses heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and Cool Whip to create a rich, creamy, fruity dessert that’s always welcome. I call it a frozen dessert, but it’s almost like a no-churn ice cream pie. It’s one of the most satisfying desserts in my lineup, and I’m frequently asked to make it during the summer.

Tips

I have zero tips on this one. It’s just that easy. The entire process is ridiculously simple. You’ll be baking your graham cracker crust, but after that, the entire recipe is simply a matter of mixing the ingredients, layering them, and freezing. That’s all there is to it! I actually sat here trying to think of tips that I could give you to make things easier, but the only way this recipe could be easier is if you had someone else make it for you.

Well, okay. There’s one tip. Really crush up those graham crackers when you make the crust. You want them as finely crushed as possible so that the entire thing binds really well and gives you a nice crusty texture. Okay. That’s it!

Variations

Here’s where you can get a bit more creative. One great thing about this frozen raspberry dessert is that you can switch it up simply by trying out different fruits. Of course, fresh berries work well. Think strawberries, blueberries, and the like. You can also use fruit puree for this recipe, as well, though. Things like peach, apricot, and other fruit purees will work wonderfully and give you an entirely different dessert simply by making that one change.

Serving Frozen Raspberry Dessert

Serving this dessert is as easy as making it. Simply cut out a slice and plate it up. That’s all! Everything you need for a great dessert is right there in the dish, so there’s no need to top it with whipped cream or other toppings. It’s a fully stand-alone dessert that needs no gilding. 

Now, let’s talk about where to serve this dessert. The short answer is everywhere. This is the perfect dish for family desserts. It’s also perfect at potlucks, backyard parties, and pretty much any other function or get-together that you can think of. There’s never a bad place to bring this dish. It’s even at home at baby showers with its delicious flavor and pretty color. It’s so delicious and so easy, you can keep it handy for any time you need to whip up something delicious and fast for any occasion.

This is a frozen recipe, so storing it is absolutely simple. Just keep it in the freezer. All you need to do is place it in the freezer in the original dish in which you made it and cover it tightly. It will keep well in the freezer for about a month. To serve, just take out the dish, cut out a slice, and you’re good to go.
