Raspberry Pretzel Jello Salad Recipe
A sweet and salty layered dessert with a crunchy pretzel crust, a smooth cream cheese filling, and fresh raspberries encased in raspberry Jello. Perfect for summer gatherings and easy to make ahead.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups crushed pretzels measure after crushing
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted 1 stick
- 3 tablespoons+1/2 cup granulated sugar divided
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese room temperature
- 1 (8 ounces) tub whipped topping thawed (Cool Whip)
- 1 (6 ounces) package raspberry Jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 12 ounces raspberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Mix crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl. Press into the bottom of the dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust, sealing the edges. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- While the cream layer chills, dissolve raspberry Jello in boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved and let cool to room temperature.
- Arrange raspberries evenly over the cream layer. Carefully pour cooled Jello over the raspberries.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust may soften slightly over time, but the layers will stay intact and flavorful.
- This Jello salad dessert should not be frozen, as the texture of the Jello and cream layers can become watery or grainy after thawing.
