Grandma’s Rainbow Dessert
SUBMITTED by newbie djc, Logan County
“This is a recipe my grandma served and I made it easier my own way.”

12 macaroon cookies, crumbled
2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 pint each orange, lime and raspberry sherbet, softened

Sprinkle cookie crumbs onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Stir in vanilla into whipped topping. In mixing bowl, combine cookie crumbs and pecans; fold in whipped topping. Spread half of cream mixture onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-in. springform pan. Freeze for 30 minutes. Gently spread orange sherbet over cream layer. Layer with lime and raspberry sherbets; spread with remaining cream mixture. Cover and freeze until firm. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Remove sides of pan and slice into serving pieces.
Note: If you want to make a richer dessert, use sweetened real whipping cream instead of Cool Whip.
