Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 1/2-3 cups crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 Tbsps plus 1 cup sugar
- 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz container whipped topping, thawed
- 6 oz pkg strawberry gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 lb pkg fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- For the crust, mix pretzels, 3 Tbsps sugar and butter together. Press into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Bake 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, mix gelatin and boiling water together. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until combined. Spread over cooled crust. Refrigerate until chilled.
- Add sliced strawberries to cooled gelatin and stir to combine. Pour over cream cheese mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or until set. I usually make mine the night before I will be serving it.
