Ingredients
  • 2 C. pretzels, crushed
  • ¾ C. butter, melted
  • ¼ C. firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 C. sliced strawberries
  • 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
  • 4 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. strawberry Jello-O
  • 2 C. whipping cream, divided
  • ⅓ C. sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Crush pretzels in a ziplock bag or food processor. Combine crushed pretzels, butter, and brown sugar. Press into the bottom of a pie plate. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.
  2. Place strawberries in a food processor or blender until finely chopped. Beat condensed milk, softened cream cheese and Jell-o at medium speed with an electric mixer. Add strawberries; beat on low until blended. Transfer to a large bowl. Beat ¾ C. of the whipping cream on high until soft peaks form. Fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream. Spoon into prepared, cooled crust. Cover and freeze overnight or until firm.
  3. Beat remaining 1¼ C. whipping cream on high speed until it starts to thicken. Gradually add sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Spread over pie. Freeze 1 hour or until whipped cream is firm. Remove from freezer and let stand 10-15 minutes before cutting. Garnish with sliced strawberries and/or pretzel sticks.
