🍓🥨 Old-Fashioned Strawberry Pretzel Salad 🥨🍓

Ingredients:

For the Pretzel Crust:
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
For the Strawberry Layer:
1 package (6 ounces) strawberry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1 cup cold water

Directions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Make the Pretzel Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Bake the Crust: Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
Spread the Filling: Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust, sealing all the way to the edges. This helps prevent the gelatin layer from seeping into the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the topping.
Make the Strawberry Gelatin: In a large bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in the boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add the cold water. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Add the Strawberries: Stir the sliced strawberries into the cooled gelatin mixture.
Assemble the Dessert: Gently pour the strawberry-gelatin mixture over the chilled cream cheese layer.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the perfect combination of sweet, salty, creamy, and fruity flavors.
