Ingredients

FOR THE PRETZEL CRUST

  • 2 c. crushed pretzels
  • 3/4 c. 1 1/2 stick melted butter
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar

FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER

  • 1 8-oz. block cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 c. heavy cream

FOR THE STRAWBERRY TOPPING

  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Strawberry Jell-O mix
  • 1 pt. fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions

  • Make the Pretzel Crust: Preheat oven to 350°. In a large mixing bowl, stir together pretzels, butter and sugar until combined. Transfer to a 10” tart pan and press firmly into pan using the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake 8 minutes and let cool completely.
  • Make the Cheesecake Layer: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until combined, then add cream and beat until medium peaks form.
  • Spread over cooled pretzel crust.
  • Make the Strawberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water and cornstarch and bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes, whisking constantly (mixture will thicken), then remove from heat. Add Jell-o and whisk until combined. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Arrange strawberries in a single layer all over cream cheese layer, then pour Jell-o mixture over, covering each berry. Refrigerate until Jell-o is firm, 2 hours.
