Preheat the oven to 350℉.

Lightly spray the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan with baking spray.

Combine the pretzel crumbs and sugar.

Add the melted butter and stir until the butter is evenly mixed in.

Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Allow the crust to cool completely.

While the crust is cooling, make the jello layer.

Combine the gelatin mix with 2 cups of hot water and stir until combined about 2 minutes.

Add the cold water to the gelatin and stir to combine.

Set the jello aside to cool.

Add the softened cream cheese and remaining granulated white sugar in a separate bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.

Add the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture and fold it in.

Once the crust is completely cooled, dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.

Smooth the cream cheese over the entire crust and up to the edge of the pan to seal the crust in.

Place the sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese.

Gently pour the cooled jello over the strawberries.

Refrigerate until the jello is set. 4 to 6 hours.
