Sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy—Judy’s Strawberry Pretzel Salad is a nostalgic favorite that never goes out of style. Despite the name, this isn’t a leafy salad but a layered dessert that wins over potlucks, picnics, and family tables alike. 
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- ¾ cup butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored Jell-O®
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen strawberries
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Bake the pretzel crust for 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with 1 cup sugar until smooth. Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Make sure to spread it all the way to the edges to create a seal.
- In another bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 2 cups boiling water. Stir in the frozen strawberries and let the mixture partially set (it should thicken slightly but not fully gel).
- Carefully pour the strawberry mixture over the cream layer.
- Refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours.
- Slice and serve chilled.
