HOW TO MAKE RASPBERRY PRETZEL SALAD
Making this raspberry pretzel dessert will only take about 20 minutes of hands-on time in different increments of time.
First, make the yummy pretzel crust. Mix crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter together and spread evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 pyrex dish. Bake for just 8-10 minutes, until the crust is firm, but not overdone.
Once the crust is cooled completely, whip cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip together to create a light filling. Spread over the crust.
Finally, boil water and and stir in raspberry jello mix. Then add the frozen raspberries. The frozen raspberries will help the jello layer set up slightly. Then pour gently over the cream cheese filling.
And that’s it! Pop this raspberry pretzel jello salad in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.
You can make this up to 2 days in advance.
CAN YOU REPLACE THE COOL WHIP WITH CREAM?
You may not be a big fan of Cool Whip frozen whipped topping. I totally get it. For this recipe however, Cool Whip will give you the best results for this pretzel jello recipe.
Subbing fresh whipped cream is definitely an option, but the crust will become soggier since whipped cream is not as firm as the Cool Whip.
