Strawberry pretzel salad is a classic layered dessert made with a crunchy pretzel crust, creamy sweet filling, and a refreshing strawberry gelatin topping. Perfect for potlucks and summer gatherings.
2 cups crushed pretzels 3/4 cup melted butter 3 tablespoons sugar 8 oz cream cheese softened 1 cup sugar 8 oz whipped topping 2 cups boiling water 6 oz strawberry gelatin 2 cups fresh sliced strawberries
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish to form a crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes and allow it to cool completely. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and spread evenly over the cooled crust. Dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water and allow it to cool slightly. Stir in sliced strawberries. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the cream layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set before serving.
Ensure the cream layer fully seals the crust to prevent gelatin from soaking into the pretzel base. Allow gelatin to cool before pouring to keep the layers clean and defined.
