Strawberry Pretzel Salad image

What is it about the three distinct components in this popular midwestern party dish? The pretzels are salty and mixed with butter and sugar. The cream cheese is tangy and folded together with light and airy whipped topping. And the strawberry gelatin is packed with a whole pound of fresh strawberries and provides a tart sweetness to finish off the dish. The trio of flavors - salty-sweet, tangy and tart - are layered together for the perfect dessert with a hometown feel.

Categories     side-dish

Time 5h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups mini pretzel twists (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
One 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, such as Cool Whip, thawed
One 6-ounce package strawberry flavored gelatin, such as Jell-O
16 ounces strawberries, hulled and sliced thin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the pretzels, sugar and butter to a food processor and process until crumbled and well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Bake until the pretzels are set and slightly more golden than before, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, clean the food processor, add the cream cheese and pulse 5 to 6 times to soften, scraping the bowl as needed. Transfer to a medium bowl and fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled pretzels, making sure that it goes all the way to the edges so that no pretzels can be seen, and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin. Continue to stir constantly until the gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of cold water to the mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the strawberries. Use a ladle to carefully spoon the gelatin mixture on top of the chilled cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until the gelatin is set, about 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Slice into squares and serve cold.

1 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
1/4 cup hot water
2 pounds strawberries, hulled (1 1/2 pounds chopped, 1/2 pound whole)
1/3 cup plus 21/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, plus the juice of 1 lemon
1 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese (about 1 cup), at room temperature
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups small pretzel twists
Pinch of kosher salt

Drizzle in the melted butter and pulse until well combined. Pour the mascarpone mixture into the prepared loaf pan; smooth the top. Top evenly with the pretzel mixture, then top with the strawberry-gelatin mixture in an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 6 hours.
