In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
3. Prepare the Strawberry Jello Layer:
Dissolve the strawberry Jello in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
Allow the Jello mixture to cool to room temperature.
Stir in the sliced strawberries.
Carefully pour the Jello mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
4. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello is fully set.
Once set, cut into squares and serve chilled.
Tips:
Pretzel Crust: For extra crunch, you can use a food processor to crush the pretzels finely, or you can place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cream cheese layer.
Jello Setting: Make sure the Jello has cooled before adding it to the dessert to avoid melting the cream cheese layer.
This Strawberry Pretzel Dessert is a delightful blend of textures and flavors, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. Enjoy this sweet and tangy treat with its irresistible crunch and creamy layers! 🍓🍰
