Strawberry Pretzel Jell-O

Recipe #4460 | 1 hour | add private note

By: Loves2Teach
Nov 14, 1999

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.

Loved It!! This is a great combination of flavors and textures. I didn't tell DH what the crust was made out of and he guessed that it was made out of nuts. He was surprised to find out it was pretzels! What a great summer passing dish to any potluck or a fun dessert. Thanks for the recipe!

    Not as good as i expected. My friends weren't impressed either. The jello didn't do it for me. Good, but nothing special.

    This has been one of my favorite recipes since I was a kid. My mom made it every holiday and now I do the same... and so do my in laws. There are only two differences in the way I make it... First is that I use raspberry jello (but I still use frozen strawberries cut in half) and Second is that I use boiling pineapple juice instead of the water. These two substitutes add just a little more flavor to the top layer and it is so wonderful!! Also just a little side note for anyone that ends up with soggy pretzels... the trick is to get the cream cheese layer COMPLETELY sealed to the pan so the jello can't seep through and make the pretzels soggy. Everyone should make this recipe!

    This is a family favorite. To save time, get the jello started first, using the quick-set method on the box.
