Instructions

  1. Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
  2. You can use a 13 x 9-inch pan if you want but my favorite is this 8 x 8 inch pyrex square, clear, baking dish. I just Love the handles and it's reasonably priced. This one is not square but will work well too. Both are definitely deep enough to make this amazing dessert.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Using a resealable bag and a meat mallet or rolling pin, crush your pretzels as best you can.
  5. Add crushed pretzels to medium mixing bowl with melted butter and sugar.
  6. Stir until combined.
  7. Press crumb mixture onto bottom of an ungreased, deep (2 ½ to 3 inches) and 9 x 9 inch baking dish. You can use a 13 x 9 inch pan but I find the dessert too thin to support the berries properly so I always use the dish in the video. I am sure you have something in your home that will definitely work.
  8. My close friend Julie uses a 13 x 9 and doubles the entire recipe. Works for her every time and she loves it. This dessert can easily feed and satisfy a crowd.
  9. Make base as even as possible.
  10. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to completely cool before adding the next layer.
  11. Filling can be made while the crust bakes and cools.
  12. In a good sized mixing bowl add sugar and cream cheese.
  13. Beat until smooth.
  14. Gently fold in whipped topping.
  15. Until incorporated.
  16. Spread cream cheese mixture over your cool crust. As evenly as possible.
  17. Cover and refrigerate until set and cool. Around 30 minutes.
  18. Next, place sliced strawberries on top of cream cheese mixture. As many as you can fit or desire.
  19. Using a small bowl, dissolve strawberry or red gelatin in boiling water. Once dissolved, add cold water and stir.
  20. Refrigerate until somewhat set, about 30 minutes, and pour over strawberries.
  21. Refrigerate again until firm.
  22. Using another small bowl, dissolve blueberry gelatin in boiling water and once dissolved, add cold water and stir until blended.
  23. Again, refrigerate until partially set and pour over top of strawberry jello layer.
  24. Add blueberries to blueberry jello and refrigerate again until entire dish is firm, about 5 or 6 hours, if not overnight.
  25. Serve with whipped cream, fresh blueberries and fresh sliced strawberries and maybe a sprig of fresh mint. Enjoy every bite!
