1/4 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
5 tablespoon(s) butter, melted
FOR THE FILLING
1 1/2 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoon(s) sugar
3 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 jar(s) (11 ounces) lemon curd
1 package(s) (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon(s) grated lemon peel
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup(s) lemon juice

FOR THE BERRY SAUCE
1/2 pint(s) fresh raspberries
1/2 pint(s) fresh blueberries
1/2 pint(s) strawberries
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) seedless raspberry jam
1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
1 tablespoon(s) raspberry liqueur

Steps:

  • Place the graham crackers, pecans, sugar, vanilla and salt in a food processor; cover and pulse until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the butter; process until blended. Press crumb mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream, sugar and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form; set aside. In a large bowl, beat the lemon curd, cream cheese and lemon peel until blended; set aside. Sprinkle gelatin over lemon juice; let stand for 1 minute. Microwave on high for 20 seconds. Stir and let stand for 1 minute or until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in limoncello. Gradually beat into lemon curd mixture until well blended. Fold in whipped cream; pour into the crust. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries, sugar and jam. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until fruit is softened. In a blender, cover and process berry mixture for 1-2 minutes or until blended. Strain, reserving juice. Discard seeds. Return juice to the saucepan; cook for 15-18 minutes or until reduced to desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Stir in lemon juice and raspberry liqueur. Chill for 1 hour. Garnish servings with sauce.
