Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 (6 oz) package strawberry Jell-O
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pretzel Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine pretzel sticks, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the pretzels are nicely coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping gently and spread over the cooled crust.
- Create the Strawberry Layer: Mix the sliced strawberries with the strawberry Jell-O powder and boiling water until dissolved. Let it cool slightly before pouring it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight if possible) to allow the layers to set.
Notes
Pairs well with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
