Strawberry Pretzel Salad
Description
Strawberry Pretzel Salad begins with crushed salted pretzels mixed with butter and sugar to form a baked crust base. On top of this cooled crust, a creamy layer is spread made from whipped softened cream cheese mixed with sugar and whipped topping, creating a smooth and fluffy texture. The final layer consists of fresh sliced strawberries incorporated into a cooled strawberry gelatin mixture that sets to a firm finish. The dessert is refrigerated until fully set, combining salty, sweet, creamy, and fruity elements in one dish. This no-bake dessert requires layering and chilling for the best texture contrast and flavor harmony.
Ingredients
- 6 oz strawberry gelatin dessert Jell-O brand
- 2 cups water boiling
- 2 1/2 cups pretzels measured before crushing, salted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 8 Tbsp butter unsalted
- 8 oz cream cheese softened, package
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz Cool Whip thawed in the fridge
- 1 lb strawberry hulled and sliced, fresh
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Combine strawberry Jell-O with 2 cups boiling water and stir until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Crush 2 1/2 cups pretzels in a sturdy ziploc bag, using a rolling pin.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt 8 Tbsp butter then add 1/4 cup sugar and stir. Mix in crushed pretzels. Transfer to a 13x9 glass casserole dish, pressing the pretzel mix evenly over the bottom of the dish and bake for 10 min at 350°F, then cool to room temp.
- When pretzels have cooled, use an electric hand mixer to beat 8 oz cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar on med/high speed until fluffy and white. Fold in 8 oz Cool Whip until no streaks of cream cheese remain. Spread mixture over cooled pretzels, spreading to the edges of the dish to create a tight seal. Refrigerate 30 min.
- Hull and slice 1 lb strawberries then stir into your room temperature jello. Pour and spread strawberry jello mixture evenly over your cooled cream cheese layer and refrigerate until jello is set (2-4 hours).
