:) This would be even better with fresh raspberries since the frozen tend to get mushy when they thaw out. You could make the raspberry sauce thicker by adding just 3/4 cup water to the Danish dessert.

3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

5 tablespoons melted butter

3 ounces lemon jell-o gelatin

1 teaspoon vanilla

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 (4 3/4 ounce) package raspberry junket danish dessert mix
