This is called a salad but it tastes more like a dessert, so yummy. I sometimes double the cream cheese center if I am feeding a larger crowd.
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed pretzel sticks
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 oz. Cool Whip
- 1 (6oz.) pkg. stawberry Jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 3 cups fresh strawberries (or 2 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen strawberries, partially thawed)
Instructions
- Mix first three ingredients and press in bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Beat sugar, cream cheese, and Cool Whip in a medium size bowl (I sometimes double this part if I am feeding more people). Spread over pretzel crust.
- Mix Jello and boiling water until dissolved. Add strawberries. Pour over cheese mixture. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

I made this a few weeks ago, but when I poured the strawberry/jello topping on top, the jello just drained down to the pretzel crust.
( The ladies still loved it! Can you tell me how long I need to let the strawberry jello mixture “set” before I pour it on top? Do I just stir until it thickens a little more?
You want to make sure the cream cheese layer really covers all the crust and all the way to the edges of the pan before you pour on the jello. If that still doesn’t work, try doubling the cream cheese layer (this is really good!) and the jello shouldn’t get through.
I know I am replying over two months later. Put the cream cheese mixture on top of the pretzel crust and seal it really well .. Leave no spaces at the edges. Then it helps to refrigerate it for like a half hour before putting the jello/ strawberries on top. I also let it cool til it gets like to egg white consistency and some people add a couple ice cubes to cool it down. Then pour it over. In my opinion makes a great difference!
