What is the Raspberries and Cream Lush?
This simple dessert features a mix of vanilla wafers and chopped nuts for the base. For that creamy touch, I made a delicious filling with vanilla pudding and cream cheese. I topped it with some cool whipped to create nice layers. Also, don’t forget the chopped raspberries on top.
Can I substitute Nilla wafers?
I used Nilla wafer cookies for this recipe as it adds a distinct texture and extra flavor. However, you can stick with the classic graham crackers. Use the same amount and mix them with the butter as usual. If you don’t feel like making your craft from scratch, feel free to get a store-bought one. It works nicely, too.

Can I switch the Raspberries?
Yes, you can use any fruit of choice. I like the Raspberries because they give a nice presentation. However, you can do this recipe with fresh strwberries. You can also try mandarin oranges for the zesty flavor.
