Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups crushed thin salted pretzels
  • 3/4 cup butter, (melted)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, (thawed)
  • 1 (6-ounce) package strawberry Jello-O
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 cups thinly sliced fresh strawberries

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together crushed pretzels, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Press into a lightly greased 9X13-inch pan. Bake for 8 minutes and cool completely.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping using a rubber spatula. Spread over cooled pretzel crust being sure cream cheese mixture completely covers and seals the crust. This will help keep the jello layer from seeping down.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (can be refrigerated overnight at this point).
  • In a bowl, whisk together jello and boiling water until jello is completely dissolved. Add the strawberries. Refrigerate for 5 minutes and then pour on top of cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until firm.
