Introduction
A classic three-layer dessert salad featuring a salty crushed pretzel crust, a sweet cream cheese and whipped topping center, and a vibrant strawberry gelatin top layer. It offers a perfect balance of sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy flavors.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place about 2 1/2 cups of pretzels in a zipper bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 3
Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the crushed pretzels into a bowl, then stir in 3/4 cup of melted butter and 4 1/2 tablespoons of white sugar until the mixture just sticks together.
Step 4
Press the pretzel crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Step 5
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for no more than 10 minutes until lightly toasted, then set aside to cool completely.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Ensure the pretzel crust is completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese layer to prevent melting.
Spread the cream cheese mixture carefully to the very edges of the pan to prevent the gelatin layer from leaking down and making the pretzel crust soggy.
Serve the dessert within 48 hours, as the pretzel crust will gradually soften over time.
