For the Filling:
- 1 packet (¼ oz/7.5 g) powdered unflavored gelatin
- ¼ cup (50 mL) milk
- 2 packages (each 8 oz/250 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (10 mL)
- 1 cup (250 mL) whipping (35%) cream, whipped
- 1 cup (250 mL) fresh strawberries, crushed
- 1 cup (250 mL) fresh blackberries, crushed
- 1 cup (250 mL) fresh raspberries, crushed
For the Decoration:

- 1 cup (250 mL) mixed berries (such as strawberries, blackberries and raspberries)
Equipment:
- 9-inch (23 cm) cheesecake pan, ungreased, or springform pan with 3-inch (7.5 cm) sides, greased
Directions
1. Crust: In a bowl, combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of cheesecake pan and freeze.
2. Filling: Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small saucepan and let stand for 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a mixer bowl fitted with paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium-high speed until very smooth, for 3 minutes. Slowly mix in dissolved gelatin. Mix in lemon juice and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream by hand. Fold in crushed berries.
4. Pour over frozen crust, smoothing out to sides of pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before decorating or serving. Run a hot knife around edge of pan to loosen.
5. Decoration: Ice top of cake with Classic Whipped Cream Topping or pipe rosettes around top of cake, if desired. Garnish with berries.
Notes
Wash and dry berries completely before using.
If you must substitute frozen berries, fold them in while still frozen.
