This dessert is such a treat. You would never imagine that these ingredients would combine to make something so wonderful. One of us always makes this dish for our family get-togethers in summertime. It's a great alternative to cake or pie for a picnic or potluck.
Ingredients:
For the crust,
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
4 tbs. sugar
For the cheese filling,
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 pint whipping cream, whipped
For the strawberry layer,
16 oz. strawberry jello
1 3/4 cups boiling water
10 oz. frozen strawberries
6 fresh strawberries, for garnish
Mix crushed pretzels, butter, and 4 tbs. sugar. Pat into 9x13 pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool completely.
Cream together cream cheese and remaining cup of sugar. Fold in whipped cream. Spread over pretzel crust. Chill.
Mix jello and hot water. Stir in frozen strawberries and continue stirring until gelatin is soft-set, about 8 minutes. Pour evenly over cream cheese layer and refrigerate until firm.
Just before serving, garnish with slices of fresh strawberries. Serves 12-15 people.
Enjoy!
