Ingredients:

• 1 8-oz. pkg. raspberry-flavored gelatin
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 quart (1/2 of half-gallon container) vanilla ice cream, softened
• 36 vanilla wafers
• 1 pint fresh raspberries
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish.

Method

1. Combine gelatin and juice in small saucepan. Cook over moderate heat until mixture comes to a boil and starts to thicken. 2. Beat ice cream on slow speed in large mixer bowl. Add raspberry syrup gradually, while continuing to beat. 3. Spoon 1/4 of the ice cream mixture into a 9-inch round souffle dish. Top with 12 of the wafers. Cover with another 1/4 of the ice cream mixture plus 1/4 of the fresh raspberries. Repeat wafer/ice cream and berries layers twice more. Chill. 4. Serve in dessert dishes, garnished with remaining raspberries and fresh mint leaves.

Notes: This makes an especially nice Christmas Day dessert since it is lighter than the traditional pies and puddings.

Number of servings: 6 to 8
