HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY PRETZEL DESSERT
Many recipes name for a bathtub of cool whip to be blended in with the cream cheese, however I prefer to make my very own recent whipped cream as a result of it’s smoother, silkier, and it tastes higher.
Additionally, for the gelatin, I virtually all the time use sugar-free Jell-O (gelatin). In case you are not into that, no biggie. Use whichever one you want.
- To begin, we’re going to make our pretzel crust which incorporates pretzels and butter. As soon as these two are mixed, you’ll pop them within the oven and allow them to come collectively.
- Whereas that cools, we’ll make the cream cheese layer and unfold it over our pretzel crust and refrigerate it till chilled.
- Within the meantime, we’re going to arrange our jello topping with recent strawberries and strawberry gelatin, and let it partially set.
- When prepared, gelatin will probably be spooned over our cream cheese topping and left to set within the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours, or in a single day.
Reduce and serve is all there’s left to do! Prime with extra whipped cream, if you want, and go at it. You gained’t remorse it.
