Raspberry Glacé Cheesecake Pie

Raspberry Glacé Cheesecake Pie

Ingredients

1 pkg. (11.2 oz.) JELL-O No Bake Cheesecake

1/ 2cup boiling water

1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Raspberry Flavor Gelatin

¼ cup frozen raspberries

1 can (11 oz.) mandarin orange segments, drained

Directions

PREPARE cheesecake as directed on package. Refrigerate until ready to use.

ADD boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Refrigerate 15 min. or until slightly thickened.

ARRANGE fruit over cheesecake; top with gelatin. Refrigerate 1 hour or until gelatin layer is firm.

VARIATION

Prepare using your favorite combination of JELL-O Gelatin and fruit. Since fresh or frozen pineapple, papaya, kiwi, figs, guava and gingerroot all contain enzymes that prevent gelatin from setting, never use them in gelatin recipes. But you can use any canned fruits or juices since the canning process kills this enzyme.

SUBSTITUTE

Prepare using 1 pkg. (0.3 oz.) JELL-O Raspberry Flavor Sugar Free Gelatin.
