WAVE YOUR FLAG CHEESECAKE

1 qt. strawberries, divided
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 pkg. (4-serving size each) Strawberry
          Flavor Gelatin
Ice Cubes
1 cup cold water
1 pkg. (10.75 oz.) pound cake,
          cut into 10 slices
1 1/3 cups blueberries, divided
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 tub (8oz.) Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed

Slice 1 cup of the strawberries; set aside. Halve the remaining 3 cups strawberries; set aside. Stir boiling water into dry gelatin, mix in large bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 2 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted. Refrigerate 5 minutes or until gelatin is slightly thickened (to consistency of unbeaten egg whites).

Meanwhile, line bottom of 13 X 9 inch dish with cake slices. Add sliced strawberries and 1 cup of the blueberries to thickened gelatin; stir gently. Spoon over cake slices. Refrigerate 4 hours or until set.

Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with wire whisk or electric mixer until well blended; gently stir in whipped topping. Spread over gelatin. Arrange strawberry halves on cream cheese mixture to resemble the stripes of a flag. Arrange remaining 1/3 cup blueberries on cream cheese mixture for the stars. Store any leftover dessert in refrigerator.
