How to make a strawberry Jell-O salad
- Preparing the base by breaking up the pretzels putting in the pan this time you want you could also toast them. Toasting does increased time that show in the fridge while you prepare the other parts
- And cream cheese mix: makes the cream cheese and the cream together until they become smooth and there’s no lumps cream cheese any longer. Pull out the base from the fridge make a layer of cream cheese and whipped cream on top of it. Make sure to get into the sides to seal because if you don’t, the Jell-O will leak through and not sit on top. After after putting in the fridge for about 30 minutes to harden and set.
- Wail that Chill’s prepare the Jell-O bring 2 cups of water to boil, mixing your gelatin and mix thoroughly until the gelatin has all dissolved the. Let cool to about room temperature
- Well, your base out of the fridge add the strawberries for the top.
then pour over jello and the chill in the fridge - If you’re Jell-O leaks through, that’s not a problem let it sit in the fridge so let’s solidify and then add another layer of Jell-O You won’t have the nice layers but still have an amazing dessert or side. The pretzels will also get soggy faster
Expert tips
- Crush the pretzels so they are small and even but not dust
- Make the day before so that it has time not only to cool, but also one less thing to worry about on that day
- press the crust in to the bottom of the pan to help get a solid crust use to bottom of a measuring up
- Let cream cheese warm up to room temp to help prevent lump
- Put cream cheese all the way to the edges to seal jello from getting to pretzels so they don’t get soggy
- let gelition cool before adding so so that it is starting to think just slightly so you don’t break the seal of cream cheese
- you will also want to let the crust cool as well be fore adding cream cheese so it does not separate
How to store
Can you get the store in the fridge up to 3 days keep covered
we do not recommend freezing as this can make the cream cheese and jello watery
Variations
- Probably the two versions of this that I have had the most often I’d probably say would be with Mandarin oranges or with cherries. Both are really good.
- Can also change up the base using graham crackers or something else. Pretzels are definitely the classic for this dish though.
- Can also add more strawberries if you’d like for this one we used a few just because kids got into a some recipes. Will say that you can use up to 3 cups kinda just depends on how you’re feeling at the time.
