Instructions:

Canyon Cafe Raspberry Chiffon Cheesecake

1 3/4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
1/3 cup butter, melted
20 frozen raspberries, thawed
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup cold water
1 cup boiling water
32 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons Chambord Raspberry Liqueur
1 cup melba sauce or raspberry jam
Chocolate Sauce

Crust: Set oven at 350 degrees F. Have a 10-inch springform pan ready by spraying with nonstick spray. (If you have cardboard rounds, place this in the springform before forming the crust.)

Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, and press a thin crust (1/4 inch) into the bottom and sides of pan. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and cool completely at room temperature.

Filling: Puree thawed raspberries in food processor and strain out seeds. Set aside.

In small bowl, combine gelatin with cold water and let stand until gelatin is softened. Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved and liquid is clear. Beat cream cheese, sugar and 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur until well blended. Add the raspberry puree and gelatin mixture, and blend thoroughly. Pour into crust and refrigerate for several hours
