How to Make Strawberry Pretzel Jell O

  1. Crush 1 ½ cups pretzels into coarse crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels with 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the next layer.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 1 (10 ounce) container of frozen whipped topping (thawed) with 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened) until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  6. Spread the marshmallow cream mixture evenly over the chilled pretzel crust.
  7. In a separate bowl, prepare 3 cups strawberry gelatin according to package directions. Let it slightly cool but ensure it's still liquid, then gently pour it over the marshmallow layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the Jell-O to set completely.
  9. Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries (optional).
