Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth, around 2-3 minutes. Fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
  4. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the pretzel base.
  5. Slice fresh strawberries and layer them over the cheesecake filling.
  6. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  7. Cut the bars into squares and serve chilled.
