Strawberry Cheesecake Dessert

I got this recipe from my sister, Kathy a long time ago. This is a super easy dessert that tastes really good. I particularly love the salty sweetness of the crust.

Ingredients:
Crust:
1 1/4 cup crushed pretzels
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted margarine or butter

Mix together pretzels, sugar and melted butter and press into bottom of 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 10 min. cool.

Center:
8 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 oz cool whip

Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and cool whip until creamy. Spread over cooled pretzels.

Top:
16 oz frozen, sweetened sliced strawberries
6 oz strawberry gelatin mix
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
2 cups hot water

Dissolve gelatin in the hot water. Add fruit and chill. When soft set pour over cheese mixture. Chill until firm (3-4 hours)
