How to Make Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Crush 1 ½ cups pretzels into crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine pretzel crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add ½ cup powdered sugar, beating until well combined. Gently fold in 8 ounces whipped topping.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve 3 ounces strawberry Jell-O in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Add 2 cups of frozen strawberries to the Jell-O mixture and gently stir.
- Let the Jell-O mixture cool slightly until it begins to thicken (about 15-20 minutes).
- Spread the cooled Jell-O mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
- Before serving, top with additional whipped topping if desired.
