Frozen Raspberry Dessert

You guys, I love this frozen raspberry dessert so much! It’s my new favorite no-bake summer dessert!

Usually my  Oreo cake is my go-to dessert and I’m really digging the Blueberry Delight I posted a couple weeks ago, but this one ups the cool factor (literally) with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sherbet.

Plus, I can make this dessert way in advance of any party or gathering and just pull it out of the freezer when I need a sweet treat!

The flavors in this dessert are amazing. The chocolate with the sweet-tart raspberries, plus the creamy vanilla ice cream…all I can say is that you must try it!

Let’s take a look at this dessert layer by layer. It’s super simple to make, and I’ve included all my tips to make it even easier.

Raspberry Dessert Recipe

This dessert starts with an Oreo crust. I use a food processor to crush the cookies and it couldn’t be quicker.

Reserve some of the crumbs for garnishing the top of the dessert. To make serving easy, first line your pan with foil or parchment.

Next comes a layer of rich fudge. I used a jar of hot fudge, but you could also use homemade.

Chocolate Raspberry Dessert

Just be sure you’re using hot fudge topping and not chocolate syrup. You might need to warm the fudge in order for it to spread over the crust.

I popped the fudge crust in the freezer to cool and pulled out my ice cream and sherbet to soften in the meantime.

It needs to be soft enough to spread, but not soupy. I used vanilla ice cream, but there are no hard and fast rules here.

If you want to up the chocolate factor, use chocolate ice cream instead!

Raspberry Desserts

Dollop with raspberry sherbet and swirl with the vanilla ice cream. If you can’t find sherbet, you can use fruit sorbet as a substitute.

Next, sprinkle with a layer of raspberries. This chocolate raspberry dessert uses raspberries, but it would be equally delicious using another fruit like strawberries.

Lastly, top it all off with a layer of whipped topping and garnish with those reserved cookie crumbs. Freeze this baby until solid.

If you’ve lined your pan with foil, it’s easy to pull out the whole cake and slice. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften, or run your knife under warm water first.

If I plan on serving this cake at a later time, I wrap the whole thing well in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Enjoy!
