Recipe: Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
I received this recipe from my Aunt Tracy over ten years ago and love to make it for potlucks because it is pretty and delicious. If you like strawberries and cream you’ll enjoy this recipe. The top layer is strawberries and jello (see picture above), the middle layer is a cream layer, and the bottom is a pretzel crust gives it an extra crunch and adds a great flavor to the dessert.
Strawberry Pretzel Dessert:
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 3/4 cup melted Butter
- 2 cups crushed Pretzels
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 (8 oz) package Cream Cheese
- 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip
- 2 cups miniature Marshmallows
- 2 (3 oz) packages Strawberry Jello
- 1 (10 oz) bag frozen Strawberries
Mix sugar, butter, and pretzels. Press into 9×13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Mix powdered sugar, cream cheese, cool whip, and marshmallows until smooth. Spread over cooled crust. Dissolve jello in 2 1/2 cups boiling water, add frozen strawberries and set in freezer until partially set. Pour strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer and refrigerate until firm.
If you like strawberries and pineapple my friend has another variation of this recipe Paula Deen’s Strawberry Pretzel Salad.
