Equipment

  • 2 8 oz. Ramekins

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • ½ c crushed pretzels
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Filling

  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • ¾ c cool whip about 2 oz.

Topping

  • 6 strawberries
  • 1 oz. strawberry jello powder
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 1/3 c ice cold water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar together.
  • Divide the crust mixture evenly and press into two 8 oz. ramekins.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, chill the crust.
  • Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip together, gradually add the cool whip to get a smoother filling.
  • Divide and spread the cream cheese filling over the chilled crusts. Make sure to seal the edges so no jello will sink down onto the crust. Chill again.
  • Dice 6 strawberries and divide pieces into each ramekin on top of the cream cheese filling.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the jello powder into the hot water. Once the jello is dissolved, whisk in the cold water.
  • Carefully spoon the jello mix onto the top of the strawberries in the ramekins. Chill, until the jello has solidified.
  • Enjoy!
