Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups pretzels, crushed
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
For the filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
For the Jello:
- 6 ounces strawberry Jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 16 ounces frozen strawberries, sliced
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix together the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes and then allow it to cool.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping and spread the mixture over the pretzel crust. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the Jello and boiling water until the Jello is completely dissolved. Add in the cold water and stir until well combined. Add the frozen strawberries to the Jello mixture and stir gently. Pour the Jello mixture over the cream cheese layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the Jello is set.
Tips
- If you don't have a food processor to crush the pretzels, simply put them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the sugar. This will ensure that it's smooth and easy to work with.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the whipped topping. This will keep the mixture light and fluffy.
- When adding the Jello to the frozen strawberries, make sure to stir gently. You don't want to break up the strawberries too much.
Conclusion
This Strawberry Pretzel Jello Dessert is the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The pretzel crust adds a nice crunch, while the cream cheese and whipped topping add a creamy texture. The frozen strawberries in the Jello give it a refreshing taste that is perfect for any time of year.
