• Grease a 9x13” baking dish.

Pretzel Layer

• Mix the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and brown sugar in a medium bowl.
• Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Transfer the baking dish to the refrigerator to set.

Cream Cheese Layer

• Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl with a hand mixer* until light and fluffy. Fold the thawed whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture and mix just until combined.
• Spread the cheesecake mixture over the pretzel layer. Make sure you cover the pretzels completely to prevent the jello layer from seeping through. Return the baking dish to the refrigerator while you make the jello layer.

Jello Fruit Layer

• Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Remove from heat and stir in the jello packets until dissolved.
• Add the frozen strawberries and cinnamon to the jello and stir. Let the strawberry jello mixture thicken for about 5 minutes until partially set.
• Spread the strawberry jello mixture over the cheesecake layer.

Last Chill

• Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours or up to overnight before cutting and serving.
