Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add crushed pretzels, light brown sugar and melted butter to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Press firmly into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until creamy. Add the whipping cream and beat until cream has stiffened into soft peaks.
- Spread the mixture over the top of the pretzel crust, spreading it all the way to edges of the pan on all sides (so the jello wont seep through).
- Boil 2 cups water. Add jello and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in frozen berries. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then pour into dish and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, until jello has set.

Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: This dessert can be made up to one day ahead of time. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Variations:
- Gluten-free Adaptations: use gluten-free pretzels.
- Strawberry Pretzel Salad: Substitute strawberries instead of raspberries, or use any favorite fruit!
- Fresh Fruit: I recommend frozen fruit as it helps the Jell-O set up faster. If using fresh berries, layer them on top of the whipped cream mixture in the pan, then pour the prepared room temperature Jell-O mix over the top.
- Bigger Pretzels: I crush the pretzels using my food processor because I like them with a finer crumb, but if you like them chunkier in the dessert, add them to a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into pieces.
