Ingredients

Pretzel Crust

  • 2 cup pretzels, crushed
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Whipped Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Strawberry Jello Layer

  • 6 oz Strawberry Jello mix
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 4 cups frozen sliced strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch baking dish by spraying with cooking spray.
  • In a food processor or blender crush pretzels until they measure 2 cups crushed. Add in melted butter and sugar and pulse until combined. Pour the crust mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • With the back of a measuring spoon or drinking glass, press the crust evenly into the bottom of the pan. Place the crust in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Using a hand or stand mixer whip to combine. Scrap down the edges and add in the cream. Whip the cream and cream cheese mixture until smooth and soft peaks form.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top of the pretzel mixture. Spread out evenly making sure to seal the edges.
  • In another mixing bowl combine the jello and boiling water and stir until the jello is completely dissolved. Add in the frozen strawberry slices and stir for 1 minute to cool the jello.
  • Carefully pour the jello mixture over a slotted spoon onto the cream cheese layer. Spoon the strawberries evenly throughout the jello. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to allow the jello to set.

Notes

  • Pre-made whipped topping can be used in place of the whipped cream in this recipe. To use whipped topping simple combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla and fold in the whipped topping. Top over the pretzel layer as instructed.
