Ingredients
12 Servings
- 2 cups boiling water
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 16 oz fresh strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar for cream cheese layer
- 1 cup melted butter
- 6 oz strawberry gelatin
- 8 oz whipped topping
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine crushed pretzels, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well to coat the pretzels.
Step 3
Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to form a crust.
Step 4
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Step 5
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping.
Step 6
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pretzel crust. Ensure the cream cheese layer is spread to the edges to seal the crust. Refrigerate until set.
Step 7
In another bowl, dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 8
Add sliced strawberries to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Step 9
Pour the strawberry and gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until the gelatin is fully set, about 2 hours.
Step 10
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
