I love strawberries and this simple dessert really gets you in the mood for spring. It's very fresh and creamy. I didn't have orange juice but I had oranges so I made fresh squeezed (YUMMY). I also used real whipped cream instead of whipped topping. I found the recipe on . Delicious! Cook time excludes chilling time. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups pretzels, crushed |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 1/3 cups orange juice |
1 cup strawberry, crushed |
8 ounces whipped topping, thawed |
strawberry (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Mix pretzels and melted butter and press firmly onto bottom of a 9 springform pan or 9 round cake pan. (Kraft suggests lining the bottom of the pan with plastic wrap before using for easy removal of the dessert, but I didn't bother.).
2. Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
3. Gradually add orange juice, beating well after each addition.
4. Stir in crushed strawberries.
5. Add whipped topping and stir with wire whisk until well blended.
6. Pour over crust.
7. Freeze 3 hours or so until firm.
8. Let stand in refrigerator 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
9. Garnish with halved strawberries just before serving.
