I got this recipe from my mom. The pretzel crust in combination with the cheesecake-like center and the fruit on top is the perfect salty/sweet combination.
Bottom crust:
2 2/3 c. chopped pretzel sticks
1 Tbsp. sugar
¾ c. melted butter
Mix and press into a 9x13 pan. Bake 7-10 minutes at 400° (375° for glass pan).
Main layer:
one 8-ounce package cream cheese
one 12-ounce tub cool whip
1 c. sugar (powdered or granulated)
Mix and spread over cooled pretzel crust. Refrigerate.
Top layer:
1 large package strawberry Jell-o
2 c. boiling water
16-oz. frozen strawberries, thawed and smashed with juices
1 ¼ c. water
Dissolve Jell-o in the boiling water. Add strawberries and water. Mix & chill until thick and syrupy, but not totally set. Pour over cream mixture. Refrigerate for several hours. Can be made the day before. Serves 12-15.
