8. 

Add a few spoons of stirred cream cheese to dissolved gelatin and stir. After that pour gelatin with cream cheese back to the remaining cream cheese and stir. At the end blend the whipped cream in. Place the filling from cream cheese and whipped cream in the refrigerator for a few minutes until we cut the cake into equal layers.
