Lisa's Bavarian Raspberry Tart




 I created this simple but elegant dessert 
for a friends birthday this week.  
Light..easy..delicious..raspberries...what more could one ask for?


 Lisa's Bavarian Raspberry Tart

2 Pillsbury Pie Crusts
16 oz raspberries
1 small box French Vanilla instant pudding
1 3/4 cups milk
8 oz Cool Whip

Bake the pie crusts as directed on the box.  
Cool completely.  

Mix the pudding and the milk until well combined.  
Fold in the cool whip.  
Divide between the 2 crusts.  
Refrigerate the pies overnight.  

Arrange the raspberries on the pies.  
Make the glaze and let cool completely.  
Brush the glaze over the berries and refrigerate 
another hour before serving.  

Glaze:

1 TBSP cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
 2 TBSP lemon juice

Mix together sugar and cornstarch in small saucepan.  
Whisk in the water, orange juice and lemon juice.  
Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil gently for one minute.  Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. 
 Brush the glaze evenly over the fruit.
