Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  4. In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in the boiling water. Stir in the cold water and let it set in the refrigerator until it is partially set, about 30-45 minutes.
  5. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
  7. Pour the partially set strawberry gelatin over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries on top of the gelatin.
  9. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  10. To serve, cut into squares for clean slices.

Notes

  • For cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean between each cut.
  • You can use other berry flavors for the gelatin layer if desired.
  • Ensure the gelatin is only partially set before pouring to prevent it from sinking to the bottom.
