This strawberry pretzel salad is a recipe my mom has made for years, everyone in my family loves it. It is so good! It's a sweet, salty, savory and creamy dessert. A must try if you had not had this yet.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed pretzels (make sure to measure pretzels after they are crushed)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz pkg strawberry jello
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 2 cups boiling water
- 16 oz frozen, sliced strawberries (let sit out and thaw a little)
Crush pretzels, I find it easiest to place them in a big plastic bag and smash with rolling pin.
Mix pretzels, butter and 1/4 cup sugar together and press into 9x13 in. pan. Bake at 325' for 10 minutes. Cool Completely.
Mix cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and cool whip together. Spread on cooled crust. Make sure to spread evenly and all the way to edges to seal. You do NOT want your jello mixture to seep through and get to the pretzel mixture. (I have messed this recipe up a couple times and it's not pretty!)
In separate bowl, pour 2 cups boiling water over jello mixture, mix well. Add frozen strawberries. Place in refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes or until starts to thicken up a bit.
Pour strawberry jello mixture over cream cheese mixture and refrigerate for a couple hours or until firm.
This is such an awesome recipe. LOVE the salty, buttery pretzels with the sweet jello and creamy whipped center! Delicious!
*TIPS*
-Do NOT follow jello package instructions, its calls for way too much water.
-Make sure to seal cream cheese mixture to edge of pan.
-Chill jello mixture just a bit before pouring over cream cheese mixture.
