This popular potluck dish, also known as Strawberry Pretzel Salad, features layers of strawberries and gelatin and sweetened cream cheese served on top of a buttery pretzel crust. Bring the recipe along with you because people will be asking!


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter. melted
  • 2 and 1/2 cups pretzels, crushed
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 – 10 oz. bags of frozen or fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 6 oz. Strawberry gelatin
  • 2 cups water, boiling
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed or whipped cream

Directions: In a bowl, combine crushed pretzels, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees until set. Let cool.

Cream together the cup of sugar and cream cheese, and fold in the Cool Whip. Spread this mixture on top of the pretzel crust. Make sure to spread it all the way to the edges of pan to create a barrier between the gelatin and crust. I recommend placing the pan back in the fridge to cool for awhile while you make the gelatin portion.

On the stove, boil water and dissolve gelatin. Pour in strawberries. (Note: I allowed the frozen strawberries to thaw for a few minutes and then sliced a few of the bigger strawberries before hand.) Let mixture set for a couple minutes and then pour over the cream cheese layer.  Place in the fridge until the gelatin completely sets up! The hardest part is waiting! Makes about 18 servings.
