It's BERRY, BERRY good!!! Mine does not look anywhere near as appealing as yours does. I had to improvise a little bit. Being lazy today I bought a graham cracker pie crust. I also did not have any brown sugar or cinnamon. I missed the whole jell-o thing and I didn't know what icing sugar was so I use regular sugar and folded in fresh raspberries. I layered banana slices on the bottom, put the filling on top, and then garnished it with strawberries and banana slices. I opted to freeze it for a frozen treat. Next time I'll do it right because yours looks so much better!

Made for photo tag. I LOVE the cinnamon in the graham cracker crust! I will definitely double the cream cheese filling next time! I had a little trouble with the crust staying together but the taste was fabulous!

Very refreshing and fruity! I doubled the cream cheese filling and the fruit topping and got really great results. When I made it the first time, I didn't double the cream cheese filling and it was pretty hard to spread so thinly.
