Hello ya’ll! Are you ready to make this super easy, wonderful dessert? Starting with yummy layer of a sweet and salty pretzel crust, then a layer of cream cheese fluff middle, and then a jelly Jell-o strawberry layer on top of that, you get sublime heaven or as I call it Heavenly Strawberry Pretzel Dessert.
Hands down, one of the best desserts for spring and summer.
Have you ever tasted it? If you haven’t, just try it, you’ll be amazed how light, fluffy, fruity, tart, sweet and salty all in every bite! (Now that’s a mouthful!)
It’s 3 easy steps. It’s a no-bake dessert, (well, partial no-bake, because you have to bake the pretzel crust for a few minutes). And the cheesecake fluff and the strawberry Jello with the strawberries mix are a breeze to make.
