A refreshing and indulgent dessert pie featuring a sweet-salty pretzel crust, creamy strawberry filling, and a layer of fresh strawberries and glaze on top.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin (Jell-O)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam, warmed (optional, for extra glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust.
  3. Bake crust for 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
  5. Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled pretzel crust. Refrigerate while preparing gelatin layer.
  6. Dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water, then add cold water. Chill until slightly thickened but not fully set, about 30 minutes.
  7. Arrange sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer. Gently pour or spoon gelatin over strawberries.
  8. Chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  9. Optional: Brush or drizzle warmed strawberry jam over the top before serving for a glossy finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese layer seals the crust to prevent sogginess.
  • Use frozen sliced strawberries if fresh are not available, but thaw and drain them first.
  • This pie is best served cold and can be made a day ahead.
