How to Make 3 Layer Strawberry Jello With Pretzels
- **Prepare the Pretzel Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush 1 ½ cups pretzels into fine crumbs. Combine crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter and ½ cup granulated sugar. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- **Bake the Crust:** Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- **Make the Cream Cheese Layer:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in 8 ounces whipped topping.
- **Assemble the Dessert:** Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- **Prepare the Jello Layer:** In a large bowl, prepare 3 (3 ounce) packages strawberry gelatin according to package directions using 2 cups boiling water. Stir in 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries.
- **Chill and Set:** Pour the strawberry jello mixture over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream and sliced strawberries (optional). Enjoy!
