With the warm temperatures and beautiful weather, I have a recipe this week that's sure to put a "Spring" in your step. Raspberry Cream Dessert is perfect for Easter or any spring get-together. If you're not crazy over raspberry, substitute the raspberry pie filling for blueberry, strawberry or cherry. Use your creativity!

Happy eating!
