Pretzel Crumble
- 4 cup pretzels
- 0.33 cup brown sugar

- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 packet Zero Sugar Cheesecake JELL-O mix
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F (347°F).
- 2Place the pretzels in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
- 3Melt the butter, then stir it together with the brown sugar and pretzel crumbs until everything is evenly coated.
- 4Spread the pretzel mixture onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- 5In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced strawberries with the granulated sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices.

- 7Pour the lemon‑vanilla mixture into the saucepan with the strawberries, stir well, and bring to a gentle boil.
- 8Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens; then transfer it to a bowl and refrigerate until completely cool.
- 9In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, Zero Sugar Cheesecake JELL‑O mix, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- 10Gently fold the Cool Whip into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light cheesecake layer.
- 11To assemble each parfait, spoon a layer of the cooled pretzel crumble into the bottom of a serving glass.
- 12Add a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture over the pretzel base.
- 13Top the cheesecake layer with a spoonful of the chilled strawberry topping.
- 14If desired, repeat the layers until the glass is filled, finishing with a drizzle of strawberry sauce.
