I know you do, because I did/do! It’s every bit as good as it looks – full of flavors that burst in your mouth. Also, it’s really hard to pick which layer is your favorite, but that’s another task I know you’re up to doing. Make it in a 9 x 13 dish and you can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the freezer to wait. Lastly, it’s made in steps which I think is super fun. So just plan it ahead!

NOTE: You can layer this dessert in any color order you like; if you’d like the red or blue layer first instead of the white layer, just follow the instructions to freeze between layers, and place the blueberry/Cool Whip layer on top of the last layer, and follow with white chocolate curls, raspberries and blueberries.
ALSO: If you want the colors brighter, or darker than they are with this no bake cheesecake recipe, you can add food coloring gel to the mixtures as you’re mixing in the JELLO. Mix in the JELLO first to determine the color before adding food coloring.
