Layer it Up! Pour the prepared cream cheese mixture over the cooled pretzel crust. Spread it out evenly using a spatula to create a smooth layer.
Strawberry Delight: In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin completely in the boiling water. Stir constantly to ensure there are no lumps.
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the gelatin mixture.
Gently Does It: Once the gelatin mixture has cooled slightly (but not set), gently fold in the sliced strawberries. Be careful not to break the strawberries.
Pour and Chill: Carefully pour the strawberry gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer in the baking dish. Tilt the dish slightly to spread the strawberry mixture evenly if needed.
Setting the Stage: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin layer is completely set. Ideally, leave it overnight for the best results.
Serve and Savor! When ready to serve, cut the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Delight into squares and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors!
