Ingredients

Crust

1 bag (8 oz) animal crackers
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar

Filling

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup fresh blackberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup strawberry jam
1 tablespoon orange juice

Directions

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Place animal crackers in food processor; cover and process about 1 minute or until crumbs are finely ground. In medium bowl, mix cracker crumbs, butter, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar. Press mixture in bottom and up side of ungreased 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
2

In large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and the lemon juice with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Add whipping cream; beat on high speed 3 to 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Spread mixture in tart shell. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
3

Arrange berries on chilled filling. In small microwavable bowl, microwave jam uncovered on High about 20 seconds or until warm. Stir in orange juice; mix well with fork. Brush strawberry glaze over berries.
