Ingredients
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
2 cups boiling water
1 large package (6 oz) strawberry gelatin (Jell-O)
2 cups cold water
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping. Spread this mixture over the cooled crust, making sure to seal the edges to prevent the gelatin from seeping through.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in boiling water. Stir in the cold water and refrigerate until the gelatin is partially set, about 1 hour.
Once the gelatin is partially set, fold in the sliced strawberries. Pour this mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate the dessert until the gelatin is fully set, at least 2 hours.
