RASPBERRY MASH

3 Tablespoons reduced calorie margarine 

2 cups crushed vanilla wafers

1 16 ounce bag frozen raspberries, thawed

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup skim milk

2 egg yolks

1 envelope unflavored gelatin

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 egg whites

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

2 tablespoons sugar

Fresh raspberries

Place margarine in 10" chef pan or large frypan over low heat until melted.  Add crushed wafers, stirring well.  Press mixture evenly over bottom of pan.  Cook on low heat for 10 minutes.  Set aside.  In 2-quart saucepan, mash raspberries, add 1/3 cup sugar, skim milk, egg yolks, gelatin, vanilla and salt.  Cook over medium heat until boiling; stirring every 2 minutes.  Let stand 30-40 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly, or place in refrigerator to cool.

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed, just until foamy.  Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar dissolves to make meringue (2-4 minutes).  Gently fold raspberry mixture into meringue.  Pour mixture into crust.  Chill 2 hours or until firm.  Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs.
