Those of you who have never had strawberry pretzel salad may be surprised to discover that it’s actually not quite a salad at all. Instead, it’s an old-fashioned layered dessert with a crumbly-crisp pretzel base, fluffy cream cheese/whipped cream filling, and a fresh strawberry topping. All are easy to make–the hardest part is waiting for it to chill before serving!
I’ve gotten a lot (a LOT) of requests to share my own version of strawberry pretzel salad over the years, but personally, I’ve never been a fan of the “traditional” version (not to mention we just don’t really “do” Cool Whip or Jell-O here). You can find those versions anywhere, so I knew that I wanted my version to be at least mostly from scratch (the pretzels aren’t, that’s it!).
It’s a tiny bit more work than its classic, more jiggly counterpart, but worth every second of the effort. I love this version and I think you will, too!
