3 tbsp sugar      

3/4 cup melted margarine 

8 oz cream cheese

1 egg

dash lemon juice

1 cup sugar

8 oz Cool Whip 

1 lg. pkg. raspberry Jell-O

2-12 oz pkgs. frozen raspberries

2 cups boiling water

 

Mix pretzels, 3 tbsp sugar and margarine.  Spread in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350°.  Spoon mixture of cream cheese, egg, lemon juice, sugar and Cool Whip evenly over crust.  Mix Jell-O and hot water.  Add frozen berries to Jell-O and stir until the mixture thickens.  Spoon gently and evenly over the cream cheese mixture.  Chill several hours before serving. 

 

NOTE:  Splenda works as a replacement for sugar, however you must use regular Cool Whip or the filling will not set up.
