Directions

1 Heat oven to 450°F. Unroll 1 crust in 10-inch glass pie plate or 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim outside edges. Prick bottom and side with fork. Use second pie crust to put a braid on outside rim of crust. Cut crust into 1/4-inch strips, and braid three strips at a time. Brush egg white on crust edge and place braid on, pushing in slightly.
2 Combine crushed pretzels, 1/4 cup sugar and the melted butter. Press into bottom pie crust. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool.
3 Stir together cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups sugar until sugar is dissolved. Carefully fold in whipped topping. Spread in cooled crust, reserving 2 cups filling to decorate pie. Place a flat layer of strawberry slices on top of filling. Mix boiling water and gelatin (with a few ice cubes) to make about 1 2/3 cups gelatin. Thicken slightly and pour over strawberries on pie. Refrigerate pie 8 hours or overnight.
4 Decorate outside edge of pie with 2 cups reserved cream cheese mixture.

This is the same recipe for Strawberry Pretzel Salad...with a few ingredient adjustments. I actually like it better as a salad than the pie recipe. With the salad you chop the pretzels small and that is your crust. Also in the salad you would use powdered sugar; and it is made in a 13x9x2 pan, so it makes alot more servings. You just can't beat using strawberries and pretzels with sweetened creamed cheese!! A great combination!!
