Ingredients

Strawberry Layer

2 cups Strawberries washed and sliced
1 cup Water
⅓ cup Granulated
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
3 ounce Strawberry Jell-O (1 box)

Pretzel Crust

1 ½ cups Crushed pretzels
¼ cup Sugar
1/2 cup Butter melted

Cream Cheese Layer

6 ounces Cream cheese softened
2 cups Cool Whip
⅓ cup Sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the pretzels to a food processor and blend them for a minute or 2 until they are all finely crushed.
Add the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix until combined. Press the mixture into a 9 inch pie plate.
Bake the crust in preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer (hand or stand), beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread over cooled pretzel crust. Make sure to get it all the way over to the edge. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While the pie is cooling in the fridge, combine the water, sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for two minutes. Add strawberry Jell-O and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
Place sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer. SLOWLY pour Jell-O mixture over strawberries in an even layer. Refrigerate until set about 4 hours
