Ingredients

Scale

2 cups crushed pretzels
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 quart strawberry ice cream, softened
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix crushed pretzels with melted butter and sugar until well combined.
Press the pretzel mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
Spread softened strawberry ice cream evenly over the cooled crust using a spatula.
In another bowl, combine sliced strawberries with sugar and let sit for about 10 minutes until syrup forms.
Dissolve the Jello mix in boiling water according to package instructions; stir in cold water and let cool slightly before pouring over the strawberries.
Pour the Jello-strawberry mixture over the ice cream layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least four hours or overnight until set firm.
