 This may not be a new dessert for the rest of you, but I recently had it for the first time at my sister-in-law Mary's house.  DELISH!  I loved it.  So, of course I had to share it.  I hope you give it a try if you haven't had it before.  Great summer time dessert.  I am sure you could change up the fruit and jello flavor too if you are feeling the need.

Ingredient List:
Crust:
1 1/2 c crushed pretzels
1/2 c sugar
1 cube butter, melted














Cream center:
1 cube cream cheese softened
1/2 c sugar
1 tub cool whip (8oz)

Topping:
1 lrg box (6oz) Raspberry Jello
2 c boiling water
1 bag unsweetened raspberries

Directions:
Crust: mix pretzel, sugar, butter.  Press into 9x13 pan.  Bake 350 for 8 min, let cool.


Center:  Mix together cream cheese, sugar and cool whip.  Spread on top of the cooled crust.  Refrigerate until set.  (****make sure to get the cream center spread all the way to every edge, it will prevent the topping from seeping down into the crust and making it soggy****)


Topping:
Dissolve jello in water.  Add berries, pour over the cream mixture.  Refrigerate until set.
