Anyone Make Strawberry Pretzel Dessert?
Decorating By midwestmom Updated 28 Mar 2005 , 5:02am by tcturtleshell
You know the dessert with the crushed pretzels for crust, cream cheese middle & strawberry jello top? The pretzel crust is supposed to be crunchy & the strawberry jello is supposed to stay on top. Well I made it for Easter & the strawberry jello sank to the bottom & made the pretzel crust soggy 
Any ideas on how to prevent this?
Is that recipe on cakecentral? It sounds really good! I'd like to try it~

Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
Ingredients:
6 oz strawberry Jell-O
2 cup boiling water
3 cups fresh sliced strawberries
1 cup cold water
2 3/4 cup crushed pretzel sticks
3 Tbs. sugar
1 stick butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
Large size cool whip
Method:
Dissolve Jell-O with boiling water. Add strawberries; mix till strawberries have dissolved if using frozen berries. Add cold water. Refrigerate till slightly thickened.
Mix the 3 tbs. of sugar, pretzels and melted butter. Press into 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350. Allow to cool.
Blend cream cheese and sugar. Add cool whip; mix well. Spread this mixture onto cooled crust. Pour Jell-O on top of cream cheese mixture. Chill until fully set, at least 4 hours or overnight. This is a great recipe!
I cooled the pretzel crust, but not the strawberry/jello mixture. This is only the second time I've made it & the first time it turned out great. It's so delicious because the pretzel crust is salty & crunch & is so delicous with the cream cheese layer & the jello layer. Don't know what happned this time!!
I just noticed the second recipe I have calls for the jello to be refrig. a little. I will probably try that next time.
Thanks midwest mom~ I will try it! I love a sweet/salty taste!! YUMMY!!!!
Thanks MrsMissey for wanting to help
