Strawberry Pretzel Dessert

Yummy Strawberry Pretzel Dessert

This dessert was a staple at my house growing up. My mom made it every year for Thanksgiving, but it is amazing anytime of the year!!

INGREDIENTS:

1st layer-

2 cups crushed pretzels

3/4 cups melted butter

3 Tbsp sugar

2nd layer-

8 pkg cream cheese; room temperature

1 cup of sugar

8 ounces of cool whip

3rd layer-

Two 3 oz or one 6 oz package of strawberry jello

2 cups of boiling water

Two 10 oz packages of frozen strawberries, thawed

INSTRUCTIONS

For the first layer, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Crush up the pretzels in a food processor or in a bag with a rolling pin, whatever you have.

Add pretzels into a 9x13 inch pan along with the 3 Tbsp of sugar and mix up. Melt the butter and add it into the pretzel mixture. Stir until combines and press down into the bottom of the pan.

Bake in the oven for 9 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Let it completely cool before moving onto the next step.

For the second layer, blend the cream cheese, cool whip and sugar together.

Spread the mixture onto the cooled pretzel crust. Put in the fridge while you do the 3rd layer.

For the 3rd layer, dissolve the jello into the boiling water. Once it is combined, put it into the fridge until partially set.

While you are waiting, put strawberries into a separate bowl and mash up with a potato masher into fine chunks.

Once the jello is partially set, add it into the strawberries and mix to combine.

Get the crust out of the fridge, I like to poke a few holes into the crust so that the jello will set up a little inside and it wont slip off of the creamy center.

Pour the jello strawberry mixture onto the crust and spread out evenly.

Put the dessert into the fridge to let it set up completely, usually 2 to 3 hours.

Cut up and serve. This is a fan favorite!!
