Raspberry Swirl Dessert

I subscribe to the 'Healthy Cooking'  edition of Taste Of Home...so when I first saw this recipe, it sounded so yummy for summer dessert!  I was excited. It was way more labor intensive than I had planned...I remember thinking...this would have to be amazing for me to ever want to make it again!! Well, I have made it 4 times now! Needless to say its worth the effort! It is a lovely dessert that you make ahead and freeze for guests...
If any of you are brave enough to try, I'd love some feedback!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 5 teaspoons sugar
• 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (I use the low fat version)
• FILLING:
• 3 eggs, separated
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, divided
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
• 1-1/2 cups reduced-fat whipped topping
• 1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, butter and sugar. Press into an 11-in. x 7-in. dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for filling, in a small heavy saucepan, combine the egg yolks, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar and salt. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160° or is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Cool quickly by placing pan in a bowl of ice water; stir for 2 minutes. Set aside.
• In a small heavy saucepan over low heat, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar and remaining water and sugar. With a portable mixer, beat on low speed until mixture reaches 160°. Transfer to a small bowl; beat on high until soft peaks form.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in egg yolk mixture. Fold in whipped topping, then egg white mixture. Drain raspberries, reserving 3 tablespoons juice. In a small bowl, crush half of berries with 1 tablespoon juice. Set remaining berries and juice aside.
• Spread a third of cream cheese mixture over crust; spoon half of crushed berry mixture over the top. Repeat layers. Cut through with a knife to swirl raspberries.
• Top with remaining cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with reserved berries and drizzle with remaining juice. Cover and freeze for 5 hours or until firm. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 12 servings.
