Instructions
- Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Prepare cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until combined. Spread evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- Make strawberry gelatin: Dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water, stirring well. Let it cool to room temperature (but not set).
- Add strawberries: Spread sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer. Pour the cooled gelatin over the strawberries.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until gelatin is firm.
- Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing, crowd-pleasing dessert.
Tips & Variations
- Try other berries: Blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries work beautifully.
- Use sugar-free gelatin for a lighter option.
- Add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel for extra indulgence.
