I made this for a luncheon this weekend and it was a hit. I too used just two pkgs of raspberries and one cup of powdered sugar. It set up fine. I did add a half tsp of raspberry flavoring because I used less berries than called for. It had great raspberry flavor.

Unless you grow your own raspberries, this is an expensive dessert to make (5 12 oz. bags of raspberries at an average price of $2.79 a bag). I only used 2 12 oz bags of raspberries and 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar but used the listed 2 envelopes of gelatin and 1 12 oz container of whipped topping and it came out fine.

I'm on the fence with this recipe. The amount of frozen berries to reduce produced way too much juice for the amount of gelatin. The filling could be a bit firmer.

The cake has great berry flavor! Would like to know if this dessert could be frozen.
