Description
A delightful summer dessert featuring layers of creamy filling, sweet strawberries, and a crunchy pretzel crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz whipped topping
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until well incorporated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch pan and bake for about 10 minutes. Let it cool completely before adding the next layer.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well mixed. Spread this luscious layer evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- Dissolve the strawberry jello in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water, allowing the mixture to cool slightly before folding in the sliced strawberries.
- Pour the jello mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly. Refrigerate for a minimum of 240 minutes (4 hours) until completely set.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled, allowing the delightful layers to enchant your guests.
Notes
This salad is best served chilled and can be garnished with additional sliced strawberries or whipped cream for an extra touch.
