Ingredients You’ll Need:

It’s just as easy to find the ingredients for this super easy-to-make pretzel jello salad. Here is your shopping list below.

  • Fresh Strawberries: You can use frozen strawberries if you wish, but I think it’s better to use fresh strawberries in this recipe.
  • Pretzel: The crusts that make up the base. Use d 2 cups mixed with butter and sugar.
  • Cool Whip: I recommend not replacing Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream because it will change the texture of the base and cool whip is sweeter than whipped cream.
  • Cream Cheese: Make sure the cheese is at room temperature and should be full fat.
  • Strawberry Jello: You can change it to whatever flavor you want. Simply mix with boiling water and cool slightly.
  • Butter: It helps the pretzels stick together. 3/4 cup butter was used for this recipe.
  • Sugar: It adds just enough and the perfect amount of sweetness to the custard layer and the bottom layer.
