Hi Nancy,
I am going to try again. I've written a couple time and I
haven't seen it in the newsletter. Here is a recipe we
really enjoy. I have made it with fresh peaches and also
strawberries.
Fresh Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
Heat oven to 400 degrees
2 cups crushed pretzels (I put mine in a plastic bag and
crush with rolling pin)
1/2 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
Mix pretzels, melted butter and sugar; spread evenly into a
9x13 baking dish.
Bake 8 minutes and then cool completely.
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, room temp.
1 cup sugar
16 oz. cool whip, thawed. ( I used the 14 oz last time I
made it and it was ok)
1 6 oz box strawberry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
4 cups sliced strawberries (I had some strawberries sugared
down with juice and I put some more fresh ones in and used
those)
Beat together cream cheese, sugar and then fold in 1/2 of
the Cool Whip. Spread over cooled pretzel crust. Dissolve
Jell-O in boiling water and allow to cool to room temp. or a
little cooler. Stir strawberries into the cooled Jell-O.
Place
in refrigerator for about 30 minutes and then spoon over the
cream cheese mixture. Then, I take the rest of the cool whip
and put it over the top of berries. If I have any crushed
pretzel's left, I sprinkle them on top.
Chill until firm.
This is a very easy and quick dessert to fix. I also made it
and put peaches and used peach Jell-O. It was also
delicious.
Thanks Nancy for putting out this newsletter. I enjoy it and
have enjoyed many of the recipes. Thanks to everyone who
shares.
