Ingredients
Pretzel Crust
- 2 cups coarsely crushed pretzels
- 3 Tablespoons sugar

Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Jello Layer
- 6 ounces raspberry Jello
- 3 cups boiling water

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter until mixture starts to stick together.
- Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 6-7 minutes and then cool completely.
- While the crust is cooling, beat softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar until fluffy.
- Fold in whipped topping and drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled pretzel crust all the way to the edges of the pan. Place in the refrigerator to keep cool.
- Dissolve raspberry Jello in boiling water. Stir until the dry Jello mixture is fully incorporated into the water. Mix in frozen raspberries and refrigerate until the Jello is soft set (about 45 minutes-1 hour).
- Pour the soft set Jello mixture over the cream cheese layer and refrigerate the dessert until the Jello is firm (another 2-3 hours).
