Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and a splash of lemon juice. Toss everything gently until well-coated and let sit for about 30 minutes.
  2. While the berries are macerating, beat reduced-fat cream cheese until smooth in a small bowl. Gradually add remaining sugar and fat-free whipped topping, mixing until fluffy. Sprinkle in ground cinnamon if desired.
  3. Once the berry mixture has rested, evenly divide it into six dessert dishes to create a colorful base.
  4. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over each berry serving, smoothing it out for an appealing finish.
  5. Finish each dessert with a meringue cookie or sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for crunch. Serve immediately or chill briefly.
