Crispy Cheesecake Squares

Ingredients:
1 (8-9 inch) frozen cheesecake, slightly thawed
2 c. frozen strawberries
1 c. frozen blueberries
1/4 c. plus 2 Tbsp. sugar, divided
2 1/2 c. oven-toasted corn cereal, coarsely crushed
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Cut cheesecake into 1 1/2 inch squares, place on platter, cover, and return to freezer.

In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, blueberries and 1/4 c. sugar.  Cook over medium-high heat 15 minutes, or until fruit breaks down and sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.  Let cool and refrigerate until chilled.

Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine cereal, remaining sugar, cinnamon and butter; mix well.

In a small bowl, combine corn syrup and vanilla.  Drizzle a teaspoon of corn syrup mixture over each cheesecake square one at a time, then place in cereal mixture dish.  Sprinkle cereal mixture over cheesecake square until all sides are coated evenly.  Place on platter.  Repeat with remaining squares.

Cover and freeze until ready to serve or serve immediately with berry sauce drizzled over the top of each piece.
