• 2 tsp. lemon juice
• red food coloring to make pink (or you can use any color)

Directions:
Crust:
Mix together and press intot he bottom of an 8-9 inch springform pan.   Line the bottom of the pan with wax paper so that the cheesecake can be removed after it's frozen.  

Filling:
Prepare Dream Whip according to package directions.   Set aside.   Soften cream cheese and beat slightly with hand mixer then add sugar and beat until fluffy.   Slowly beat cream cheese and dream whip mixtures together making sure they are well mixed.   Add lemon juice and food coloring and beat until color is evenly distributed.   Spread filling over the crust and refrigerate or freeze.  
If you make it in a springform pan, after it's frozen overnight, run a knife around the edge then release and remove from pan and wrap in saran and return to freezer.  

Serve with fruit topping.   Fruit puree is made by using mixed frozen berries that are thawed.   Puree or just mix the whole berries with sugar to taste and a little water.   Spoon over top of cheesecake.
