Instructions
For the Pretzel Crust
Preheat oven to 350˚F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pretzels, butter, and sugar.
Press the pretzels into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool.
For the Cream Cheese Layer
In your mixer's bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons sugar; beat with a mixer until cream reaches stiff peaks. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth and creamy. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the prepared whipped topping.
Spread the cream cheese filling over the cooled pretzel crust all the way to the edges; add walnuts on top and refrigerate until chilled.
For the Strawberry Topping
In a large bowl, add boiling water and gelatin; stir in the strawberries and chill in the fridge until partially set.
Spoon the strawberry mixture over the chilled cream cheese filling.
Chill the dessert for 6 hours or overnight, until firm.
Cut it into squares and garnish with whipped topping and pretzels.
Serve.
