I make this dessert all the time and everyone always loves it. I do the jello/frozen fruit layer differently however....I pour the package of jello into a bowl and add 1 cup of boiling water to it. Then I use the quick set method on the side of the jello box by adding 1 1/2 cups of ice water to the jello and refridgerate for about 20 minutes then I add the frozen strawberries/raspberries. I wait until the jello is half set before pouring it over the well-sealed cream cheese mixture. I hope this helps some of you - I've never had my pretzel layer get soggy this way.

My aunt had made this for me a few years ago and I love it, then I lost the recipe. This was wonderful, easy and light. We served this at my daughter's graduation party, it was such a hit! This was requested over the cake!

Delicious. This turned out great. Use only 1 cup of water though. As other reviewers stated, definitely be sure to seal off the pretzel layer w/ the cream chz mixture. Also, let the layers cool completely before topping w/ the next layer. The jello should start to set up a little b/4 you pour it on the cream chz mixture. When prepared this way, you should definitely have a crunchy pretzel crust and a distinct layer of cream cheese and a layer of jello. I tried it w/ raspberry jello & mixed berries. That was good but I think I'll stick to the strawberry version.

My middle daughter requests this dessert instead of a cake on her birthday. The key to making this dessert turn out great is to be sure and seal the cream cheese/whipped topping layer around the edges so the cooled Jello won't seep into the pretzel layer below. The sweet/saltzy crust is a nice compliment to the other layers. This is a winner with my family.

At first glance, this recipe seems odd, but believe me, it is great. I have been making it for years and have used all different flavors of jello. You can make it a light low fat dessert if you use the sugarfree jello, fresh fruit, low fat cool whip and low fat cream cheese and you would never know it is lowfat. Great for social events because it makes a large amount. Enjoy!

This did not turn out at all. The jello never set up and even though I made sure to seal off the pretzel crust, the jello still managed to seep down into it. It was a total flop.

There IS a trick to this recipe! When you spread the cream cheese/Cool Whip layer, you need to "seal off" the pretzel layer. In other words, you need to spread it on carefully and make NO corners or edges are left out where the jello layer can seep in. If your pretzels turned out soggy (mine did the first time i did this recipe), you didn't spread the cream cheese/Cool Whip on properly. When it comes out right (with crunchy pretzels), this recipe is delicious!

I don't think I will make this again. I really expected the pretzel crust to be crunchy but it was like soaked bread. No one even knew it was pretzels on the bottom.

The granddaughters helped to make this on Christmas Day. I was confused by the ending directions. The gelatin never thickened and I was not sure whether to pour the hot liquid over the cream cheese mixture or not. I did. It was good but the liquid made the pretzels soggy after a while. I will make it again, though.

YEAH! My family has been using this recipe for years. I lost my copy and was SO happy to find it. One tip -- if you buy the larger container of whipped topping, you can spread that on top of the strawberries for and extra layer. AND if you're feeling even more adventerous slice fresh strawberries on top. NOTES: 1. cut the water back to 1 cup -- the frozen strawberries will add the extra water. Otherwise your gelitan will be too soft. 2. make sure you seal pretzel crust with the cream cheese / whipped topping layer. Otherwise the liquid will seep into the pretzel layer and make it soggy.

I have a friend that makes this (her own recipe) and this one turned out nothing like hers. She said to cut the water back to 1 cup boiling water. She said there was too much water. I stirred it on the stove(water,strawberries&jello) for 20 min and it just wouldn't thicken. I poured it on top of the pretzels & cheese and it leaked underneath the dessert and made the pretzels soggy. None of the jello stayed on top. When my friend makes it it looks like a perfect casserole with the jello nice and neat on top.
