Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzels
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping
- 6 ounces strawberry Jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pretzels in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Press the pretzel mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust, ensuring the edges are sealed completely to prevent the Jello layer from leaking through.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello powder in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Let the Jello mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, arrange the sliced fresh strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Carefully pour the cooled Jello mixture over the strawberries, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello layer is fully set.
Once set, slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
