  1. This is a great dessert! I got the recipe from my wonderful MIL several years ago, and everyone loves it. The pretzel crust gives a nice nut-like, crunchy, salty counter-point to the sweet and creamy filling and strawberry top. It's also a very pretty presentation!
     
  2. We have this dessert at our family gatherings and it great!
