Instructions:
In a microwaveable bowl, add strawberries, raspberries, pineapple (with juice), and 1 tablespoon sugar. Microwave for 2 – 3 minutes. Mash the fruit to a semi-chunky consistency using a fork, potato masher, or pastry cutter. Stir in mashed bananas and set aside.
In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin in boiling water. Stir in the fruit mixture.
Pour half of the gelatin mixture into a 13-inch x 9-inch dish. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
Keep the remaining gelatin mixture at room temperature. Combine cream cheese, whipped cream (or whipped topping), vanilla, and optional sugar in a separate bowl. Whip until smooth.
Spread the whipped cheesecake layer over the chilled gelatin layer. Carefully spoon the remaining gelatin mixture over the top.
Chill overnight.
Yield: 12-16 servings
