Instructions

01
Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and lightly greasing the sides.
02
Make the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Mix until evenly moistened.
03
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
04
Sprinkle gelatin over warm water in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom, then stir until completely dissolved.
05
Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until well combined.
06
Add the dissolved gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
07
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture in three additions.
08
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 2 hours until partially set.
09
Prepare jello according to package directions using boiling water. Add cold water and stir. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
10
Arrange fresh berries on top of the partially set cheesecake layer.
11
Carefully pour the cooled jello over the berries and cheesecake. The jello should be cool enough not to melt the cheesecake layer.
12
Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours or overnight until completely set and firm.
13
Before serving, run a knife around the edges and remove the springform pan sides. Garnish with fresh berries, mint leaves, and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
