Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup strawberry gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor or using a rolling pin, crush the pretzel sticks until they are fine crumbs. Combine the crushed pretzels with melted butter and sugar until well-coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Once baked, set it aside to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Once combined, gently fold in the Cool Whip until you achieve a light and fluffy consistency.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in the boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Add the sliced strawberries to the warm mixture, allow it to cool for a few minutes before pouring it delicately over the cream cheese layer.
- To ensure all the flavors meld beautifully, place the assembled dish in the fridge and let it chill for at least 2 hours.
Notes
Serve chilled with a dollop of Cool Whip and a fresh strawberry slice for garnish. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to three days.
