How to Make Pretzel Jello Dessert
- In a medium bowl, prepare the strawberry gelatin according to package directions using 1 cup of boiling water. Stir in 1 cup of frozen strawberries.
- Pour the strawberry gelatin mixture into a medium-sized glass dish or bowl. Refrigerate until almost set but still slightly jiggly (about 30-45 minutes).
- While the jello is setting, prepare the pretzel base: Crush pretzels into small pieces (you can use a food processor or zip-top bag for this).
- In a small bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well to coat evenly.
- Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of the same glass dish or bowl, creating an even layer.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pretzel layer.
- Carefully pour the almost-set strawberry jello mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the dessert to fully set.
