Servings 12
Ingredients
- 6 ounces strawberry or raspberry Jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 1/2 cups mini twist pretzels, before crushed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 8 TBSP butter melted
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 8 ounce Cool Whip thawed
- 3 cups sliced fresh berries, raspberries and strawberries
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Combine strawberry or raspberry Jell-O with 2 cups boiling water and stir until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Crush pretzels either in a ziploc bag, or pulse them a few times in a food processor until they are in tiny pieces ( not crumbs). Add melted butter and sugar and stir till fully combined. Transfer pretzel mixture a 13 x 9 in glass casserole dish, pressing the pretzel mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow to cool completely
- Beat together cream cheese and sugar until fluffy and white. Fold in Cool Whip until fully incorporated. Spread mixture over pretzels and go all the way to the edges of the dish to create a seal. This will help prevent the jello mixture leaking into the pretzels.
- Stir your fresh berries into your room temperature Jell-o. Pour and spread fruit and jello mixture over your cooled cream cheese layer and refrigerate until jello is set ( roughly 2 - 4 hours)
