Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 2 cups frozen raspberries
• 1 (3 ounce) package raspberry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl; stir in melted butter. Set aside 1/2 cup graham cracker mixture; press remaining mixture into a 9x13-inch dish. Chill crust until firm, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl until soft and fluffy. Spread cream cheese mixture over graham cracker crust and chill until firm, about 30 more minutes.

Step 3

Whisk raspberry gelatin and boiling water together in a separate large bowl until gelatin has dissolved; stir in lemon juice. Gently fold frozen raspberries into warm gelatin; cold raspberries will cause gelatin to begin to set. Spread raspberry mixture over cream cheese layer in the pan.

Step 4

Spread whipped topping over raspberries and sprinkle with reserved crumb topping. Chill for at least 2 more hours.
