Official Memorial Day Dessert

What is a summer holiday without Strawberry Layer Dessert?

There is about a billion recipes for this dessert. However, I like mine with the pretzel crust and real strawberries in the layer.

2 cup finely crushed pretzel

1/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup butter, melted

12oz softened cream cheese

Additional 1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoon milk

1 cup cool whip, thawed

1-6oz package of strawberry jello

2 cup boiling water

1-1/2 cup cold water

2 pt sliced strawberries or less or more

Mixed crushed pretzels, 1/3 cup sugar and melted butter. Press into a 9x13 pan. Bake 1o minutes at 350*. Cool crust.

Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and milk until smooth. Stir in cool whip. Spread over crust. Refrigerate until firm.

Boil water and stir in jello for 2 minutes. Add cold water. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hours. Stir in strawberries. Spread over cool whip layer. Refrigerate until firm.
