Servings: 12
Ingredients
PRETZEL CRUST:
- 1 1/2 c. crushed pretzels
- 3/4 c. butter or margarine melted
- 3 T. granulated sugar
CREAM FILLING:
- 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese softened
- 1 c. confectioner's sugar
- 1 (8 oz.) tub Cool Whip
RASPBERRY TOPPING:
- 1 (6 oz.) pkg. raspberry flavored Jell-O
- 2 c. boiling hot water
- 1 (12 oz.) pkg. frozen raspberries
Instructions
- PRETZEL CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pretzels in a 1-gallon size re-sealable bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add melted butter and sugar to the bag, re-seal and mix well. Pat mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool before adding the other layers.
- CREAM FILLING: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar, until smooth. Gently fold in Cool Whip until well combined. Spread evenly over the top of cooled crust, sealing the edges.
- RASPBERRY TOPPING: In a saucepan, bring water to a boil, remove from heat, and whisk in Jell-O until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes) then quickly stir in frozen raspberries, immediately pour over top of cream cheese filling, and spread evenly. Place in the refrigerator and allow Jell-O to set up completely.
- Slice into squares and serve with a spatula.
