Strawberry Pretzel Icebox Pie

I made this delicious treat in honor of Father's Day. My daddy is not the biggest fan of sweet treats (must get that from my Momma!) but always appreciates something tasty. I found this little treasure in a magazine and decided to whip it up. Boy oh boy, am I glad that I did! This is definitely worth the time and few hours of waiting. Let me know what ya think!

Ingredients

2 cups finely crushed pretzel sticks 

3/4 cup butter, melted 

1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 

2 cups sliced fresh strawberries 

1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk 

1/2 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened 

4 tablespoons plus 1 tsp. strawberry gelatin

2 cups whipping cream, divided 

1/3 cup granulated sugar

Directions 

 Preheat oven to 350°. 

Stir together first 3 ingredients; firmly press on bottom, up sides of a lightly greased 10-inch pie plate. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. 

Remove from oven and cool completely (about 30 minutes).

 Process strawberries in a food processor until finely chopped. 

Beat condensed milk and next 2 ingredients at medium speed with mixer until smooth. 

Add strawberries; beat at low speed just until blended. 

Transfer to a large bowl.

Beat 3/4 cup whipping cream at high speed until soft peaks form.

Gently fold whipped cream into strawberry mixture. 

Spoon into prepared crust. 

Cover and freeze 8 to 12 hours or until firm.

Beat remaining 1 1/4 cups whipping cream at high speed until foamy.

Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until soft peaks form. 

Spread over pie. 

Freeze 1 hour or until whipped cream is firm.

Enjoy!
