How to Make Strawberry Pretzel Salad
- Dissolve 3 oz (3 packets) of strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water.
- Stir in 2 cups of thawed sliced strawberries.
- Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish and refrigerate until partially set (about 30-45 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups crushed pretzels and 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) melted unsalted butter.
- Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping (Cool Whip or equivalent).
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- Carefully pour the partially set strawberry Jell-O mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the Jell-O is completely set.
