How To Make raspberry cheesecake

• 1

  Crush vanilla wafers in a food processor or blender until crumbs.
• 2

  Melt butter, add to vanilla wafer crumbs and mix. Press into a 9x13 pan (or 8x8 for a really thick dessert)
• 3

  On medium speed, cream together cream cheese (softened), powdered sugar, lemon extract, lemon zest and Cool Whip until smooth.
• 4

  In separate bowl, add large package of strawberry jello, boiling water, cool water and berries. Let cool and set up until somewhat thick, but not set (you will need to spread/pour it on cream cheese). Frozen berries will help it set up faster.
• 5

  Spread cheese mixture evenly on top of crust.
• 6

  Pour and spread jello/berry mixture on top of cheese. Cover entire cheese mixture to the corners.
• 7

  Chill for about an hour, or until topping has set up until firm and able to slice into.
• 8

  Slice and serve with a sprig of fresh mint on top for presentation.
