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.

Made this yesterday.Turned out well. I used strawberry juice, ( that I drained off of the frozen strawberries,) in place of the daiquiri mix. It probably was a milder taste but was still very good. The pretzel crust was good but graham crumbs would also work if you didn't want all the salt from the pretzels. Other fruit flavours would work too, like raspberries, blueberries etc. Will make it again.

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.
