Ingredients

• 2 cups crushed pretzels
• 4 tablespoons light butter (melted)
• 3 tablespoons sugar substitute (such as stevia or monk fruit)
• 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese
• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup sugar-free whipped topping
• 1 package (3 ounces) sugar-free strawberry gelatin mix
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1 cup cold water
• 2 cups sliced strawberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted light butter, and 2 tablespoons of the sugar substitute. Mix until the pretzels are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the fat-free cream cheese with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar substitute until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the non-fat Greek yogurt and sugar-free whipped topping until well combined and fluffy.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese and yogurt mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust. Be sure to spread it all the way to the edges to create a seal and prevent the gelatin from seeping into the crust.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, dissolve the sugar-free strawberry gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved, then mix in 1 cup of cold water.

Step 9

Allow the gelatin to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes, then gently mix in the sliced strawberries.

Step 10

Carefully pour the strawberry gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer, ensuring the strawberries are evenly distributed.

Step 11

Refrigerate the dish for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.

Step 12

Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy this refreshing and low-calorie dessert!
