Ingredients
Pretzel Crust
- 2 cups crushed pretzels measured after crushing
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
Cream Cheese Filling
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
Strawberry Jello Topping
- 6 ounces strawberry flavored Jell-O® a family size or two 3 ounce packages

Instructions
Prepare the Pretzel Crust
- Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Get out a 9x13-inch baking pan. and set aside.
- Mix the pretzels, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium-sized bowl until they are combined thoroughly.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until it's lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and cool completely while preparing the next layers.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Fold in the whipped topping and then spread evenly over the cooled crust.
- Make sure that the cream cheese reaches all the edges of the pan and seals it up, or you will have a soggy crust! A barrier is formed with this layer between the crust and the jello.
- Cover and refrigerate until set, about 30-40 minutes.
Prepare the Strawbery Jellow Topping
- Stir together the jello mix and boiling water in a bowl.
- Mix in the frozen strawberry slices and stir until thawed in the jello. This should bring the Jello to room temperature. Pour over the cream cheese layer without disturbing it, cover with plastic wrap and then refrigerate for 2-3 hours. You need this to be firm and set!
- Once ready, slice and serve. Store covered in the refrigerator.
