Description
This Strawberry Pretzel Pie is a no-bake delight, a perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors with a creamy, cool filling and a crunchy pretzel crust.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 4 cups Miniature Pretzels
- 6 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Sugar
For the Filling:
- 3/4 cup Boiling Water
- 1 package (6 ounces) Strawberry Gelatin
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 pound Fresh Strawberries, hulled, divided
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream, divided
- 1 jar (7 ounces) Marshmallow Creme
- 2/3 cup Whipped Cream Cheese
- 2/3 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pretzel Crust.
Place the pretzels in a food processor. Pulse until chopped.
Add the melted butter and sugar. Pulse until combined.
Reserve 1/3 cup of the pretzel mixture for topping.
Press the remaining mixture onto the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. This helps the crust to firm up.
Step 2: Prepare the Gelatin.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, add the boiling water to the strawberry gelatin.
Stir for 2 minutes, or until completely dissolved.
Stir in the lemon juice.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the gelatin to cool and slightly thicken.
Step 3: Prepare the Strawberries.
Chop half of the strawberries.
Slice the remaining strawberries and reserve for topping.
Step 4: Make the Whipped Cream.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Step 5: Combine Filling Ingredients.
Beat the marshmallow creme, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk into the cooled gelatin mixture until blended.
Step 6: Fold in Strawberries and Whipped Cream.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and the whipped cream.
Step 7: Pour Filling into Crust.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
Step 8: Chill.
Refrigerate, covered, until firm, 4-6 hours.
Step 9: Make Remaining Whipped Cream.
Beat the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Step 10: Top and Serve.
Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Top with the reserved sliced strawberries and the reserved pretzel mixture.
