In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and Cool Whip until smooth. Pour over crust and spread. Place back in fridge.

Bring water to a boil. Dissolve Jell-O. Add frozen fruit. Stir until thawed. Add crushed pineapple. Mix well. Pour over cream cheese mixture. Refridgerate 4 hours or until firm.

*Can also use raspberry Jell-O.

**Can also use raspberries. I've also tried this recipe with a package of frozen mixed berries and it was really good.
