Am I the only person who came up short on the crust using 2 cups crushed pretzels? I ended up using a whole bag. I also cut the butter back to 1/2 cup but ended up doubling the pretzels, so used 1 cup total. The cream cheese plus whipped cream almost seemed like marshmallow fluff, that might be an interesing substitute.

This is one of DD's favorite salads. However I have never tried it with pineapple. We loved it. The only problem I had was it didn't set up, I'm thinking I didn't get the pineapple drained good enough. Going to try again in a couple weeks. We still ate it (in bowls) and loved the flavor. Thank you for sharing this with us.

This tasted just like my mother's and was just what I was looking for. I did make a few changes due to not paying attention and missing ingredients. I forgot the sugar in the pretzel crust and had only salted pretzels. I used about 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream which I whipped and folded into the cream cheese as I didn't have CoolWhip. Fresh strawberries were also used. This was yummy and liked by everyone except Simi who refused to even try it because it has Jello in it. The rest of the family agreed it was her loss and just meant all the more for us.(21)

Loved, loved, LOVED this recipe! I have made it twice now this week for Easter. I also used salted pretzels. I used fat free cream cheese the first time and it turned out fantastic as well. I only used fresh strawberries and no pineapple and added to the jello right after it began to set. DH was crazy about the recipe and ate several huge servings.
