Raspberry Pretzel Jello

You can also replace the raspberry with strawberries.

Place in refrigerator to thaw beforehand:

1 bag frozen raspberries

When ready to begin, preheat oven to 350°.

Set out on counter to soften and thaw:

1 package of cream cheese (8oz)
1 package of Cool Whip (8oz)

Combine and set aside to cool to room temperature:

6 oz package Raspberry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water

Crush in a ziplock bag, using a rolling pin.

2 cups pretzels

Melt in a saucepan:

1/4 cup sugar
1 stick butter

Add pretzels and mix together.

Lightly press pretzel mix into a 13×9-inch Pyrex dish and bake for 10 minutes at 350°F, then cool to room temperature.

While pretzel mix is cooling down, beat together on medium/low speed until well-combined:

1 cup sugar
1 package of cream cheese – softened

Next, stir in Cool Whip using a spatula and mix until well combined.

1 package of Cool Whip (8oz) – thawed

Spread mixture over cooled pretzels and go all the way to the edges of the dish to create a seal. You don’t want the Jell-O to leak into the pretzels.

Refrigerate 30 minutes.

Place raspberries evenly on top of the cream filling.

1 bag frozen raspberries – thawed in refrigerator

Pour Jell-O over raspberries and refrigerate until Jell-O is set.
