Do-ahead and delicious, this dessert is a favorite because of its pretty color, creamy texture and terrific flavor. A light, no-bake filling makes it easy. Try garnishing with fresh berries and sprigs of mint. —Julianne Johnson, Grove City, Minnesota

  • Cook and stir over low heat until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from the heat; cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add berries and gelatin mixture; beat on low until thoroughly blended. Chill until partially set. Watch carefully, as mixture will set up quickly.

This recipe was not a hit with everyone in my family, I found it creamy and not too sweet. One family member stated it would be great as a layer to cheese cake.

I didn't have unflavored gelatin, but had a box of sugar free strawberry jello. I used that instead. I did everything the same but used strawberries instead and cool whip instead of whipped cream. Turned out delicious...

Made this for Easter lunch today and it was a big hit. i used 8 oz lite cool whip, light cream cheese and only 1/3rd cup sugar in the filling and it turned out great! I will definitely make this again.

Must admit I cheated. Used a graham cracker crust I purchased, bought a bag of frozen raspberries frozen plain and a container of Cool Whip. Put frozen berries in a bowl, added half a cup of sugar and got a good amount of juice from the defrosting berries. Put that juice with the gelatin and water and after 5 minutes heated the gelatin and stirred until dissolved. Whipped the cream cheese in a stand mixer. Added the semi-defrosted berries to the gelatin mix and it jelled sufficiently right away so added it to the cream cheese, beat everything smooth then folded in the Cool Whip and placed in pie shell. Delicious and very quickly done! It is resting in the refrigerator and prior to serving will place fresh raspberries over the top. Wait until my grandkids see this!

Excelent recipe.

I use the microwave to dissolve the gelatin during 30 seconds in High. Prehidrate the gelatin during 10 minutes .

I haven't made this yet but want to thank babalou10 for the Spenda info. My husband is diabetic also so a dessert for 12 carbs is gonna be a keeper!

I'm going to try this with a pre-made graham cracker crust and cool whip instead. Sounds great!

I haven't made this yet so will come back and rate later. Has anyone tried substituting cool whip for the whipping cream to cut down on the fat content?
