Line the sides of a 2 quart mold or souffle dish with ladyfingers. Place 6 split ladyfingers spade fashion in bottom of mold, trimming as necessary to fit.

Stir in vanilla. Chill until mixture mounds slightly.

Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold in gelatin mixture. Whip cream till soft peaks form; fold in. Spoon into lined mold. Chill several hours or overnight until firm. To serve, un-mold on platter and drizzle with a little Raspberry Sauce. Garnish with fresh or frozen raspberries, if desired; pass remaining sauce.
