A delightful dessert combining salty pretzels, sweet strawberries, and creamy layers that create a nostalgic summer treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz strawberry Jell-O mix
- 2 cups boiling water
- 16 oz strawberries (fresh or frozen, hulled & sliced)
- 2 1/2 cups salted pretzels (measured before crushing)

- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed in refrigerator)

- Dissolve the strawberry Jell-O mix in boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.

- Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
- Fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the cooled pretzel layer.
- Pour the Jell-O and strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading gently.
