Directions: |
Directions:1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To crush the pretzels, I placed them inside two large Ziploc bags (doubled), and used the rolling pin to crush and smash them. You want there to be small chunks of pretzels in the crust, so don’t smash them to dust! Combine the pretzels, the melted butter, and the 3 Tbsp. of sugar in a bowl, and press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9″ x 13″ baking dish. Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool.
2. While the crust is baking, combine the cream cheese and the sugar in a mixing bowl. Fold in the Cool Whip. Place the mixture over the cooled crust, making sure to spread the cream all the way across the top evenly. Be sure to seal the crust by going all the way to the edge of the pan, or the Jell-O layer will seep through and turn the cream colors, which you don’t want. Place the crust and cream top in the fridge to cool for a couple of hours.
3. While the dessert is in the fridge, dissolve the Jell-O powder in the boiling water, and let cool. Place mixture in the fridge for a few minutes until it starts to thicken slightly, then stir in the sliced strawberries. Pour the Jell-O and strawberries mixture over the top of the cream cheese layer, and spread evenly. Refrigerate. |
