Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

30 lemon creme cookies
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 cup raspberries
3 tablespoons sugar
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
One 3.4-ounce package instant lemon pudding mix
1/4 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
2 lemons, zested
2 drops red food coloring
1/4 cup fresh raspberries
Lemon zest twists, for garnish
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

For the crust: Place the cookies into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process the until the cookies become fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse to combine. Press into an 11-by-2 1/2-inch springform pan and chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
For the filling: Meanwhile, place the raspberries in a bowl. Smash the raspberries using the back of a fork, then sprinkle with the sugar and set aside.
Combine the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and pudding mix in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix on low until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the lemonade, lemon zest and food coloring and whip on medium-high until thick and fully combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the macerated raspberries until completely combined.
Pour into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Freeze for at least 2 hours. (At this point, you can wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.)
To serve: Remove from freezer and allow to thaw slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish each slice with fresh raspberries, a lemon zest twist and a little whipped cream.
