2 ½ cups whipped cream
Fresh strawberries halved
Fresh blueberries

Wait until it's cooled to room temperature and soft set, or place in the fridge to speed the process but stir from time to time.
  • Spread blueberry jello layer over chilled cheesecake layer. Do not pour warm blueberry jello over cheesecake layer, it will melt it.

  • Top with remaining whipped cream. Before serving arrange fresh berries on top. Melt white chocolate chips, transfer melted chocolate to a ziplock bag, cut off the corner and drizzle over the top of lasagna.
