½ cup of chopped pecans

8 ounces of softened Challenge Cream Cheese

½ cup of sugar
-
2 teaspoons of vanilla

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add melted butter to a 10 ½ x 2 round tart pan. Place gingersnaps into a large freezer zipper bag and crush cookies to create crumbs using a rolling pin. Add cookie crumbs and pecans to pan with melted butter and mix until well coated. Press crumb mixture evenly in bottom of pan to form a crust. Place into oven to set crust, about 8-10 minutes or until butter starts to bubble-do not over bake! Remove from oven and let cool.

Using a mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Spread over cooled crust.
-
In a sauce pan, combine juice and gelatin. Place over medium heat constantly stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Remove and let cool for about 10 minutes.
-
Arrange fruit on top of cream cheese in desired pattern. Pour cooled gelatin mix over fruit and refrigerate until set and chilled, about 2 hours.
