STRAWBERRY PRETZEL SALAD



Strawberry Pretzel Salad image

Sweet and salty, creamy and crunchy, this strawberry pretzel salad is the perfect blend of delicious flavors. With its tasty layers, this old-fashioned favorite is bound to be a hit among your family and friends!

Provided by Janelle

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups pretzels, chopped
1 1/4 cups white sugar, divided
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 (9 ounce) container cool whip
1 (6 ounce) package strawberry jello
2 cups boiling water
1 (16 ounce) container frozen strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F.
  • In a bowl combine pretzels, ¼ cup white sugar and butter. Mix well.
  • Spread on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish and press down to create a tight crust.
  • Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • Once the crust is cooled, make cream cheese layer.
  • In a bowl blend 1 cup sugar cream cheese and vanilla together.
  • FOLD in the cool whip.
  • GENTLY spread this mixture over cooled crust. I've found it easiest to place globs all over then gently spread them together.
  • Make sure that white filling touches all sides of the pan. This will prevent jello mixture from sliding UNDER the cream cheese layer and making the crust soggy.
  • Chill while you make the top layer.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together jello and boiling water. Mix well until jello is fully dissolved.
  • Add strawberries and mix until strawberries are thawed.
  • Mixture should begin to thicken as the frozen berries will quickly bring the temperature down. When mixture is egg white consistency (thick, but soupy) (about 10 minutes) pour over the cream cheese layer.
  • Chill for 1 hour or longer, until the jello is set.

Tips:

  • For a creamier salad, use whipped cream instead of Cool Whip.
  • If you don't have time to make homemade whipped cream, use a store-bought variety.
  • To make a gluten-free version of this salad, use gluten-free pretzels.
  • If you don't have any fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • For a more tart flavor, use sour cream instead of Cool Whip.
  • To add a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top of the salad before serving.
  • This salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Strawberry pretzel salad is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy filling, sweet strawberries, and crunchy pretzels, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
