A sweet and salty pretzel crust lies beneath a smooth, tangy cream cheese layer and a topping of cool strawberry gelatin and juicy strawberries. This pie is a real sensory treat that everyone will love! Top each serving with a dollop of whipped topping if you like. Ingredients:
2 cups coarsely crushed pretzels |
3/4 cup margarine, melted |
1 tablespoon white sugar |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1 cup white sugar |
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed |
2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored jell-o |
2 cups boiling water |
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen sweetened strawberries (do not thaw) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl mix together crushed pretzels, melted margarine, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Press mixture firmly into bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and fluffy. Fold in whipped topping and spread mixture evenly onto cooled crust.
4. Place gelatin in a medium heat-proof bowl and pour in boiling water. Stir gently until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add frozen strawberries and continue to stir until mixture begins to thicken. Chill until semi-firm but still pourable. Pour gelatin mixture over cream cheese layer. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
