Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz each) pkgs cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp white sugar divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip thawed
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • cups pretzels
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions

  • First, make your crust. Pulse the pretzels in a large food processor until they're coarse crumbs. Pulse in the melted butter and 2 Tbsp white sugar until moistened. Portion evenly among four pint-sized mason jars or parfait glasses and use a smaller glass to compact into a loose-ish crust.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheeses, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed, about 2 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip until completely combined and fluffy. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into a large resealable plastic bag, seal out the air, and snip off a tip of the bag.
  • Pipe the cheesecake about halfway full into the jars; sprinkle with about 2-3 Tbsp chopped strawberries. Continue piping the mixture until it reaches the brim of the jar and top with another 2-3 Tbsp of chopped strawberries. Repeat with remaining jars.
  • Serve immediately, or store leftovers in the fridge for 1 day.
