1/4 cup milk
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Chill 15 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan, combine gelatin and water; let stand for 1 minute. Add milk; cook and stir over low heat until gelatin is dissolved.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in gelatin mixture and lemon peel. Chill until partially set.
