🛠️ Instructions 🛠️
1. Create the Pretzel Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
2. Whip Up the Cream Cheese Layer:
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and cream cheese together until smooth.
Fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
Spread the mixture over the cooled pretzel crust, ensuring it reaches the edges to prevent the gelatin from seeping through.
Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
3. Craft the Strawberry Layer:
In a large bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in boiling water.
Stir in the sliced frozen strawberries and allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
Pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate until fully set, at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
4. Serve & Savor:
Once the dessert is fully set, slice it into squares and serve chilled.
Garnish with fresh strawberries and pretzels for an extra pop! 🥨🍓
Enjoy this perfect blend of sweet, salty, and creamy flavors!
