Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
Strawberry Pretzel Dessert is spectacular. No kidding. You will love this fabulous dessert–uh, salad! The original recipe actually called this a salad! It has a wonderful pretzel crust, a lusciously smooth cream cheese layer, followed by a delicious strawberry Jello layer and finally topped with whipped cream. Oh, yum! The question about this recipe is whether or not it should even be classified as a salad!! It seems more like a dessert to me!
My dear friend, Mimi Pownall gave me this recipe in the very early 1980s, and I love the recipe for its versatility. You can use frozen or fresh strawberries. One time I decided to make it with strawberry pie filling instead of all the Jello goop. That was yummy, too.
This recipe has been all over the Internet for years and I’m not sure who the originator of this recipe is. I would not be surprised if this recipe originated from the makers of Jello or someone else selling a product.
You will love this fantastic Strawberry Pretzel Dessert. Try it at a potluck sometime and see everyone swoon. This is such a marvelous recipe for holidays or Valentine’s Day with it’s beautiful colors and light creamy taste. It’s wonderful to serve after a large meal because it’s so light and fluffy. Add this to your holiday dessert list. You won’t be sorry.
When I initially posted this recipe right after I started my blog in June 2012, my pictures were blurry and just not very good! I was using an iPhone for a camera back then which wasn’t particularly good to show exciting pictures of food!
Besides all that, I made the mistake of using plastic wrap instead of foil to wrap the dish before refrigerating it one last time. The plastic wrap fell into the dish and pulled off the beautiful sheen from the Jello that it originally had. I’ve made those corrections in the notes for the recipe so you can avoid my mistakes.
I recently remade Strawberry Pretzel Dessert (October 2016) for a potluck for our Sunday school class. This is one of those recipes that’s great to freeze during the stages (and to speed up the process), but after that it’s better to keep the dessert refrigerated. This is always a crowd pleaser even if it is a little high maintenance for a dessert. It is so good you will find it is gone before you blink your eyes! 🙂

RECIPE NOTES
NOTE: May substitute cans of pie filling for strawberry mixture, although this is really good. I have used raspberry and blueberry pie filling as a substitute for the strawberry-Jello mixture. But I bet you could use fresh blueberries or blackberries and Jello to match and it would be fantastic, too.
NOTE: The original name for this recipe calls it a salad. This is really a dessert, NOT a salad!
NOTE: Don't use plastic wrap to cover this salad/dessert. It will adhere to the strawberry topping and make a mess. Cover with lid or foil instead.
