Hello ya'll! Are you ready to make this super easy, wonderful dessert? It begins with heavenly layer of a sweet and salty pretzel crust on the bottom. Then a luscious layer of cream cheese fluff in the middle, and then we top it with strawberry jello loaded with strawberries! Such a sublime layered dessert or as I call it Heavenly Strawberry Pretzel Dessert.
Hands down, one of the best desserts for spring and summer.
Have you ever tasted Strawberry Pretzel Dessert? If you haven't, just try it, you'll be amazed how light, fluffy, fruity, tart, sweet and salty it is in every bite! (Now that's a mouthful!)
It's a no-bake dessert, (well, partial no-bake, because you have to bake the pretzel crust for a few minutes). But the cheesecake fluff and the strawberry Jello with the strawberries mix are a breeze to make. It's a great classic strawberry dessert to take to any potluck or after dinner! Simply scrumptious, you'll want seconds!
