How to Make Heavenly Strawberry Pretzel Dessert

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pretzel Crust (pretzels, sugar and butter)

Mix together the crushed pretzels, 4 ½ tablespoons sugar and melted butter.
Press into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Set aside to cool completely.

Cheesecake Fluff (cream cheese, whipped cream, sugar)

In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and cream cheese until smooth.
Fold in whipped topping.
Spread evenly over the cooled crust.
Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.

Strawberry Jello Topping (frozen strawberries, strawberry jello, water)

In a medium bowl, stir together the gelatin mix and boiling water.
Mix in fresh or frozen strawberries, and if using frozen, stir until strawberries are thawed. Let mixture cool down some.
Pour over cream cheese mixture in pan.
Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 1 hour.

Tips for Strawberry Pretzel Salad

When dissolving the jello, make it according to recipe instructions, not the jello instructions.
Use softened cream cheese so you don’t get lumps and the fluff is smooth.
Spread cream portion snug to the edges for a tight seal before adding the jello.
Pour cooled down jello gently over the top to prevent cracks in the cream cheese layer.
