Pretzel Crust:
- 2 1/2 cups salted pretzels, lightly crushed
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 8 oz cool whip, thawed
Raspberry Jello Topping:
- 6 oz package raspberry jello
- 2 cups water
- 4 cups frozen raspberries
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into a 9×13” pan to form a crust. Bake for 12 minutes, then let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth. Fold in cool whip. Spread this mixture over the cooled pretzel crust, ensuring it reaches the edges to seal.
- Prepare the Raspberry Jello Topping: Boil 2 cups of water and stir in the raspberry jello mix until dissolved. Remove from heat and add frozen raspberries. Pour this mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate: Chill until the jello is set, approximately 2 to 4 hours.
