Contest-Winning Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling
YIELD: 2 servings.
I love the sweet-salty flavor of this pretty, layered dessert. Sliced strawberries and gelatin top a smooth cream cheese filling and crispy pretzel crust. I think it's best when eaten within a day of being made. —Wendy Weaver, Leetonia, Ohio
