6 egg whites
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
2 tsp. orange zest
5 cups mixed fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and quartered strawberries)

Steps:

Heat oven to 250ºF.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in medium bowl with mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Add 1-1/2 cups sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
Spread into 2 (10-inch) circles on 2 parchment-covered baking sheets.
Bake 1-1/2 hours. Cool completely. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar with mixer on medium speed until blended. Gently stir in COOL WHIP and orange zest. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Transfer 1 meringue to plate just before serving. Spread with half the cream cheese mixture; cover with half the berries. Repeat all layers.
