Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 (6 oz) package strawberry gelatin
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until the pretzels are fully coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well blended. Once ready, spread this mixture over the cooled pretzel crust.
- In a bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Once it’s fully dissolved, stir in the sliced fresh strawberries. Let this mixture cool down for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the complete dessert for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Cool the pretzel crust completely before adding the cream cheese layer to ensure it stays firm. Substitute strawberries with other berries for variations.
