    Every cheescake I have ever made has cream cheese as the primary ingredient.

    Example:

    1 cup HONEY MAID Graham Cracker Crumbs

    3 Tbsp. sugar

    3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

    1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

    3/4 cup sugar

    1-1/3 cups fruit juice*

    2 cups sliced, fresh strawberries, blueberries or raspberries

    1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

    Preparation
    MIX crumbs, 3 Tbsp. sugar and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes if using a silver springform pan; cool. (Bake at 300°F for 10 minutes if using a dark nonstick springform pan.)

    BEAT cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add fruit juice; mix until blended. Gently stir in berries and whipped topping.

    POUR over prepared crust. Freeze 6 hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before cutting to serve.
