Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 300°F. In a large bowl, mix the flour and sugar, then cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Press the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set (the crust will not brown). Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

In a medium saucepan, add the boiling water to the raspberry gelatin and stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in the frozen raspberries or strawberries until well combined. Refrigerate the mixture for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken. Carefully spoon the gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
