Calories: 631kcal
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- - 2.5 cups mini pretzels plus more for garnish if desired
- - ¼ cup butter melted
- - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- For the pie:
- - 1 package strawberry jello
- - 1 cup boiling water
- - 2 cups cream cheese softened to room temperature
- - 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- - 1 lemon juiced
- - 3 cups whipped topping divided
- - 2 cups sliced strawberries divided
Instructions
- Start by whisking together the strawberry jello and boiling water until all the crystals are dissolved, place into fridge for at least 20 minutes to cool
- Add pretzels to a food processor and pulse until just crumbs remain; add the butter and sugar and process until mixture resembles wet sand
- Press pretzel mixture evenly into a 9 inch springform pan, place into fridge while you prepare the filling
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, add in the strawberry jello mixture and lemon juice and beat until smooth
- Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping, stopping mixing as soon as it is evenly incorporated
- Fold in 1 cup of strawberries, then spread mixture evenly over top of the pretzel crust
- Place strawberry pie into fridge for at least 4-5 hours to firm up, then spread the remaining one cup of whipped topping over the pie and top with remaining strawberries and pretzels if using
Notes
- For a firmer filling you could use half the amount of water when preparing the JELLO.
- Make sure to cream the cream cheese and condensed milk together really well so the filling is smooth and not lumpy.
- Don't let the JELLO completely set in the fridge, otherwise you won't be able to smoothly incorporate it into the mix. The longest you should refrigerate it for is 30-40 minutes.
- Not a fan of strawberry? Substitute out raspberry JELLO and raspberries.
