- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen strawberries

- Pour strawberry mixture over cream cheese layer. Chill until completely set before serving.
Tips
- For a fun twist, try using different flavors of Jell-O®, such as raspberry or cherry.
- Make sure the pretzel crust is completely cooled before adding the cream cheese layer, otherwise it may become soggy.
- Allow the strawberry Jell-O® mixture to partially set before pouring it over the cream cheese layer. This will help the layers stay separate.
- Top with fresh strawberries for an extra burst of flavor.
