Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted pretzels, crushed (about 15 pretzel rods)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
- 1 (8 oz) package reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup reduced-fat nondairy whipped topping
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 (0.30 oz) packages sugar-free strawberry gelatin
- 2 cups cold water
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh sliced
- 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Combine the pretzels, melted butter, applesauce and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl until blended. Press the mixture into the pan. Bake until just set, 5 –7 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping. Spread the filling over the cooled crust. Refrigerate until well chilled, 30 –40 minutes.
- Pour the boiling water over the gelatin in a medium bowl, stirring until the gelatin dissolves completely, 1 –2 minutes. Stir in the cold water until blended. Add the strawberries and crushed pineapple, stirring to combine well. Pour the gelatin mixture over the cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until set, 3 –4 hours.
