When I’m planning party menus, I appreciate dessert recipes like this; you can make and freeze it up to two weeks before serving. A refreshing slice is welcome after a big meal.—Cassie Alexander, Muncie, Indiana

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups crushed pretzels
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup thawed non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri mix
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 container (16 ounces) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
SAUCE:
1 container (16 ounces) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed and undrained

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the pretzels, sugar and butter. Press onto the bottom of a greased 11x7-in. dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For filling, in a large bowl, combine milk and daiquiri mix. Beat in cream cheese until smooth. Stir in strawberries; fold in whipped topping. Pour over crust (dish will be full). Freeze for 4 hours before serving.
For sauce, puree thawed undrained strawberries in a food processor or blender. Strain through a fine sieve. Drizzle over top.

I have made this twice. This is my second review on this dessert. The first time I used the pretzel crust and the second time I used a graham cracker crust. We like the graham crust better. I used puréed strawberries instead of the daiquiri the second time and that worked just fine and I used just plain strawberries chopped up with a little sugar to get the juices going. Frozen strawberries would be better because of the liquid. I also used a 9 x13 dish and it was full. I can’t see how it would fit in an 11 x 7 dish!!! This is a great dessert.

so do strawberries that go in the filling, get drained or not? I can't wait to try this recipe.

Yum. This was amazing and so perfect for a hot summer day as a BBQ dessert. I found it simple to prepare. I used fresh strawberries.
