Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzels
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 6 ounces strawberry gelatin mix
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crush the pretzels into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor, and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Melt the butter and pour it over the crushed pretzels. Add 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and mix well to combine.
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, then remove and allow to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust, making sure to spread it all the way to the edges to create a seal and prevent the gelatin from seeping through.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Allow the gelatin to cool to room temperature but not set.
Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Carefully pour the cooled gelatin over the strawberries, ensuring it spreads evenly across the top.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4-6 hours or until the gelatin is fully set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
