When mixture is about the consistency of egg whites, pour and spread over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until set. Serve Tips: Gluten Free- Use Gluten Free Pretzels for the crust . Make sure you spread the cream center all the way to the edges to seal the crust from getting soggy. Try making this with other fruits beside strawberries.
