For the crust
2 Cups Wafer crumbs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup refined sugar
For the filling
1 cup granulated sugar
1 package (3.4 oz) JELL-O Lemon flavored instant pudding

4 8oz packages cream cheese
4 eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
For the topping
1 package whipped topping
1 cup each blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, sliced strawberries 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
You need to preheat oven to 325 degree Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, line a 13 x 9 inch pan with foil. Make sure that the ends of foil extended over the sides of the pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the wafer crumbs, butter and sugar. Pour the crust mixture into the prepared pan. Press the bottom of the pan firmly, and bake for 10 minutes.
Mix the cream cheese and sugar in a blender or mixer and blend well until smooth. You can add sour cream and mix well. Once mixed, add the lemon zest, lemon pudding mix and lemon juice. Blend them well until thoroughly combined. You can start adding the eggs, one at a time. You need to adjust the blender to slow speed while adding the eggs. Once smooth, pour this mixture over the crust.
Bake the mixture for approximately one hour or until the center is almost done. Let it cools fully before putting it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Transfer the cheesecake to a tray and add and mix thoroughly the vanilla extract to the whipped topping. You need to spread the topping over the cake. Finally, decorate it with fresh fruits.
