Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the graham crumbs and sugar.
  • Stir in the melted butter.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan.
  • Place in the fridge as you make the filling.
  • Sprinkle the jello into the boiling water. Stir the mixture for the jello to dissolve. Set aside as you make the rest of the filling.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft.
  • Mix in the powdered sugar, followed by the lemon juice.
  • Ensure that the jello mixture is cooled to room temperature. With the mixer on low speed, beat the jello into the cream cheese mixture a little at a time.
  • Carefully fold the thawed whipped topping into the mixture until it's evenly mixed.
  • Spoon the filling overtop of the crust and smooth the top.
  • Place in the fridge for 6 hours, or until set.
  • When ready to serve, carefully run a thin, sharp knife around the edges of the springform pan.
  • Optionally, top the cheesecake with whipped cream and berries.
