Strawberry Pretzel Salad
A delicious dessert salad with a pretzel crust, a cream cheese filling topped with fresh strawberries and jello!
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 box (6 ounces) instant strawberry jello
- 1 container (16 ounces) fresh strawberries, sliced OR 1 package (10 ounces) frozen strawberries
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 container (8 ounces) cool whip, thawed
Instructions
- Combine crushed pretzels, brown sugar and melted butter together. Press into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees, for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Make the jello according to package directions. Add in the fresh strawberries. Place jello into the refrigerator until it's partially set. About an hour or so.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Fold in the cool whip. Spread mixture over the cooled crust, making sure to cover crust entirely. You want to make sure it goes all the way to the edges of pan. (This will help the jello not leak through to the crust)
- Pour jello over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate at least 3 to 4 hours before serving! Enjoy :)
