JELLO PRETZEL DESSERT



Jello Pretzel Dessert image

This Jello pretzel dessert recipe is a new twist on the classic with strawberry or raspberry jello, a cream cheese layer and pretzel crust.

Provided by Karin and Ken

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups pretzels, crushed
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 carton (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 pkgs (3 oz) strawberry or red gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
fresh strawberries
2 pkgs (3 oz) blueberry or blue gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
fresh blueberries
whipped cream
more blueberries or sliced strawberries
sprig of fresh mint

Steps:

  • Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
  • You can use a 13 x 9-inch pan if you want but my favorite is this 8 x 8 inch pyrex square, clear, baking dish. I just Love the handles and it's reasonably priced. This one is not square but will work well too. Both are definitely deep enough to make this amazing dessert.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a resealable bag and a meat mallet or rolling pin, crush your pretzels as best you can.
  • Add crushed pretzels to medium mixing bowl with melted butter and sugar.
  • Stir until combined.
  • Press crumb mixture onto bottom of an ungreased, deep (2 1/2 to 3 inches) and 9 x 9 inch baking dish. You can use a 13 x 9 inch pan but I find the dessert too thin to support the berries properly so I always use the dish in the video. I am sure you have something in your home that will definitely work.
  • My close friend Julie uses a 13 x 9 and doubles the entire recipe. Works for her every time and she loves it. This dessert can easily feed and satisfy a crowd.
  • Make base as even as possible.
  • Bake for 10 minutes and allow to completely cool before adding the next layer.
  • Filling can be made while the crust bakes and cools.
  • In a good sized mixing bowl add sugar and cream cheese.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Gently fold in whipped topping.
  • Until incorporated.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture over your cool crust. As evenly as possible.
  • Cover and refrigerate until set and cool.
  • Next, place sliced strawberries on top of cream cheese mixture. As many as you can fit or desire.
  • Using a small bowl, dissolve strawberry or red gelatin in boiling water. Once dissolved, add cold water and stir.
  • Refrigerate until somewhat set, about 30 minutes, and pour over strawberries.
  • Refrigerate again until firm.
  • Using another small bowl, dissolve blueberry gelatin in boiling water and once dissolved, add cold water and stir until blended.
  • Again, refrigerate until partially set and pour over top of strawberry jello layer.
  • Add blueberries to blueberry jello and refrigerate again until entire dish is firm, about 5 or 6 hours, if not overnight.
  • Serve with whipped cream, fresh blueberries and fresh sliced strawberries and maybe a sprig of fresh mint. Enjoy every bite!

STRAWBERRY PRETZEL JELL-O



Strawberry Pretzel Jell-O image

A crisp salty pretzel crust complements the creamy marshmallow-fluff-like "white" layer, with a tangy topping of strawberries in gelatin. Much like a strawberry cheesecake, but with the surprise of pretzels! For best results, make Strawberry Pretzel Jell-O only one day in advance, to preserve the crunchy texture of the pretzels.

STRAWBERRY JELLO CHEESECAKE WITH PRETZEL CRUST



Strawberry Jello Cheesecake with Pretzel Crust image

We had this growing up, so nostalgia wells up again! Make sure to use the thinner pretzels, because the big fat ones don't crush down as much as you're looking for. TIME DOESN'T INCLUDE REFRIGERATION TIME!

Provided by Lori Loucas

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c crushed pretzels
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c unsalted butter, melted
2 pkg (8 oz ea) cream cheese, softened
1 c sugar
8 oz container of cool whip
6 oz package strawberry jello
1 1/2 c boiling water
16 oz package frozen sliced strawberries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the pretzels, 4 tablespoons sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 10 inch spriingform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  • 2. Beat together the cream cheese and sugar until no lumps are left. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spread over the COMPLETELY COOLED crust. Make sure you spread completely to the sides of the pan, to keep the jello layer from seeping into the crust. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
  • 3. Meanwhile, make the strawberry layer. Stir together the gelatin mix and boiling water in a medium sized bowl. Add the frozen frozen strawberries, and stir until they thaw and the mixture is partially set. Put the bowl in the fridge for another 15-20 minutes until thickened but not completely set.
  • 4. NOTE: If your frozen strawberries are whole, this recipe works better if you slice them before adding to the jello. They should be easy to slice, even when frozen.
  • 5. Spoon the Jello layer over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until completely chilled and the jello is fully set. This will take at least 1 hour.
  • 6. Right before serving, remove the sides from the pan. If desired, you can decorate the top with whipped cream and a sprig of mint.
