Had to show some love to this throwback summertime classic dessert….and people who KNOW this dessert know it absolutely slaps 😂🍓🥨

This nostalgic strawberry pretzel salad recipe is one of those classic summer desserts that instantly takes me back to church potlucks and family cookouts.

Sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy… honestly she’s iconic for a reason. And yes, I will be doing a little dance every time I eat it. 💃🏼

RECIPE
6 oz strawberry jello
2 cups boiling water
12 Tbsn unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Cups crushed salted pretzels (4 cups whole)
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 oz cool whip
1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced or chopped-your choice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine boiling water and jello until dissolved (do not follow instructions on box) Set aside to cool to room temp
2. Crush pretzels in a sturdy ziplock bag or food processor
3. In a medium saucepan, melt 12 Tbsp butter, then add 1/4 cup sugar and stir. Mix in crushed pretzels. Transfer to a 13×9 glass casserole dish, pressing the pretzel mix evenly over the bottom of the dish, and bake for 10 minutes at 350°F, then cool to room temperature.
4. Using a hand mixer, combine cream cheese, 1/2 c sugar. Then fold in cool whip. Spread over cooled pretzel layer, making sure to seal edges to prevent layers combining later. Set in fridge for 30 minutes.
5. Combine room temp jello and strawberries and pour over cream layer. Cover and place in fridge to set for 2-4 hours.
Enjoy!

POV: the viral dot cake trend grew up, paid bills, got overstimulated… and ordered an espresso martini. 🍸✨

This adult twist on the viral dot cake might be my favorite dessert reel yet. Fudgy brownies soaked with espresso martini, fluffy cream cheese frosting, crunchy rainbow nonpareils, and that ASMR sprinkle drop…Absolutely dangerous behavior.

I swear this feels like the perfect crossover between millennial nostalgia and Gen Z dessert chaos and honestly… I support it. 😂

The little spoon crack through the sprinkle topping + the espresso martini soak = elite.

✨SAVE this for your next girls night, birthday party, brunch, or book club.
