Sure! Here’s a recipe for Strawberry Pretzel Salad:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 6 ounces strawberry gelatin (e.g., Jell-O)
- 2 cups frozen strawberries, sliced and sweetened
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well until the pretzel crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, forming a crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust, making sure to reach the edges to create a seal.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Add the frozen strawberries to the gelatin mixture and stir until the strawberries are thawed.
- Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill until the gelatin is set and firm, usually for about 4 hours or overnight.
- Once the gelatin is set, you can cut the Strawberry Pretzel Salad into squares or desired serving sizes.
- Optionally, serve each piece with a dollop of whipped topping and garnish with pretzels for added crunch.
