MIX first 3 ingredients; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Line side of pan with 4-inch-wide strip parchment paper.

RESERVE 8 berries for garnish; cut remaining berries into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Stand enough of the largest berry slices to form single layer around edge of lined pan; gently place bottoms of berry slices against side of pan. Mash remaining sliced berries.

SPRINKLE gelatine over cold water in saucepan; let stand 5 min. to soften. Cook on low heat until gelatine is dissolved. Beat cream cheese, sugar and juices in medium bowl with mixer until well blended. Add mashed berries; mix well. Gradually beat in gelatine. Refrigerate 5 min. or until slightly thickened. Whisk in 1 cup COOL WHIP; pour into prepared pan.
