Raspberry Pretzel Jello Salad Recipe

Side Dishes

15 Nov
 This pretzel jello salad makes the perfect sweet and savory treat that can be served as a dessert or side dish!

This pretzel salad recipe has been a family staple at special events and holidays my entire life thanks to my mom, so I wanted to share it again today with Thanksgiving coming up next week! You will definitely want to include this at your dinner this year. I remember it most at Thanksgiving and it’s a staple every year at our table; if there isn’t raspberry pretzel jello salad, then it isn’t Thanksgiving! We also like to make it for our Christmas eve dinner. We serve it with dinner as a side dish but let’s be honest, it’s dessert. If you serve your pretzel jello salad with dinner though, you don’t have to feel bad about having your “real dessert” afterward. Bring on ten desserts.

This pretzel jello salad has a buttery and savory base layer, topped with a cream cheese and whipped cream middle, finished with raspberry jello and raspberries. It’s so perfect that literally anyone that has ever tasted it loves it. When you first hear “raspberry pretzel jello salad,” it does sound interesting I must admit. I have received a few smirks in my day when I talk about it, and then the smirk suddenly turns into a big grin when people actually try it.

Plus, this pretzel jello salad looks fancy.

This dessert/side dish isn’t hard to make at all, but it does take a bit of time in waiting for each layer to be ready. The main things to keep in mind are :

*The bottom layer must cool completely before you layer it with the cream cheese mixture.

*Set out the cream cheese and make sure it’s completely room temperature before you mix it with the cool whip and sugar so it’s not lumpy. Also make sure you spread it completely over the top of the pretzel mixture so the edges are sealed around the pan so the jello doesn’t seep through to the bottom layer and make the pretzels soggy.

*THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT – make sure the top jello and raspberry layer is cooled and at an egg white-like consistency before you put it on top of the cream cheese layer. If it’s still boiling hot, it will heat through the cream cheese layer and make the pretzels soggy…not that I did this last month when I made it or anything…

Raspberry Pretzel Jello Salad Recipe

 
Printable Recipe
 

Ingredients for your Pretzel Jello Salad:

2 cups crushed pretzels (2 cups after crushed)
3/4 cup melted butter
3 Tbsp white sugar
1 8 oz package cream cheese, room temperature (I use neufchatel which is just 33% less fat and will be right by the regular cream cheese in the store)
1 cup white sugar
1 8 oz container frozen whipped topping (I used the less fat version of this as well)
2 cups water
1 6 oz package raspberry flavored jello
2 packages frozen raspberries
 

Directions for your Pretzel Jello Salad:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F 
2. Stir together crushed pretzels, melted butter and 3 tablespoons sugar; mix well and press mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish with a spatula. To crush the pretzels, I recommend putting them in a gallon plastic bag, seal it, then roll it over with your rolling pin. I like the pretzel to be completely finely crushed.  
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until set. Set aside to cool. 
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. Fold in whipped topping. Spread mixture onto cooled crust. 
5. Bring 2 cups of water to boil then dissolve jello into it. Stir in still frozen raspberries and allow to set briefly. When mixture is about the consistency of egg whites, pour and spread over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate your pretzel jello salad until set.

I hope you love this pretzel jello salad recipe as much as my family loves it! It’s so festive and tasty 🙂

    IS this something that should be eaten the day of, or can you make it a day or two in advance?

      Abby – I would recommend eating it the day of but you can also eat it the day after and beyond if you don’t let the top layer touch the bottom layer. So don’t scoop any out, because when the top layer sits on the bottom layer, then the pretzels can get soggy.

      I know you’ll love it!

Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a m Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a mom to twins and now mom to 3! Why I love it:

🤍 The car seat and stroller seat rotates so it makes it a great place for baby on walks and other places like restaurants because I can face him where I need to! He can be facing towards me as I’m seated or avoid sun in his face on walks!

🤍 I love that the car seat pops directly into the stroller base. If he’s sleeping I don’t have to wake him up and it makes going ANYWHERE so much easier and gives me so much less anxiety when I take my crew out and about 😅🤍

Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary talk to speak in church what his favorite part of church was, and he answered honestly:

“The treat at the end.”

I laughed and laughed, and I also realized that this truth spoken from his mouth was spot on.

I pray, and I write and I listen and I study because in those moments is when I can hear Him.

I see Him in truth everywhere. He is in all things. His lessons are gently whispering in the textures, the smells, and the relationships I give my energy to.

I put forth effort by my small acts of showing up and telling Him I’m listening and His spirit is the “treat at the end.” And during. And before - even when I sometimes don’t notice it quite yet.

🤍🤍🤍 Happy Sabbath my beautiful friends!!! His knows you by name. He sees you and hears you and ADORES what He created - you. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 5/21/23 #sundaybest

After giving birth to the twins I was shaking unco After giving birth to the twins I was shaking uncontrollably and it was really painful. She laid on me and her weight helped calm my body.

What a beautiful metaphor. Her presence is what I’ve always needed. Her influence carries weight.

She doesn’t need or want the spotlight (at ALL - sorry for the feature mom but I just think the world needs to know why you are INCREDIBLE!) 🤍

My favorite thing about her is the things she doesn’t say. She never feels bad for me even when I’m really struggling because that’s not what I need. Her confidence in me that I’ve got this…whatever “this” is…has been the single most impactful thing that has helped me to fly.

She always has the BEST advice, though, when I ask for it. The best. She soothes my heart in ways that are hard to put into words.

I really, really try to be the mama to my kids that she is to me.

Mothers need to be celebrated from the rooftops!! Sacrifice. Unconditional love. The gift we all need.

I love you, mama!! And I salute all the mamas out there that are showing UP. Imperfectly. And doing it.

To all my ladies experiencing infertility - I see you, sis. Today is a different day for you. Today is a reminder of what you don’t have and would do anything for. It’s okay to be sad and not like today. I see you and love you 🤍

To all the ladies who are missing your mamas or who wish you had a mama that showed up for you like you needed, I see you too, sis. 🤍

(ps I have no idea how the photo of my placenta from Warner’s birth ended up in this slideshow 🤣💀🤣 but I can’t edit it out now ha ha ha. A woman’s body is INCREDIBLE. Maybe it was supposed to be in there. To remind us of what God made. Our bodies create LIFE. How beautiful is that?! So the placenta pic stays 🤣)

Debriefing the day 🥹 When I see moments like th Debriefing the day 🥹 When I see moments like this, I can’t believe he almost didn’t exist. He almost didn’t join our family! Infertility and a really hard pregnancy, premature birth, NICU time with a long recovery from preeclampsia and THEN Epstein Barr for several years led me to think, “LET’S NOT DO THAT AGAIN!” 😅 You can’t know what it’s like until you experience infertility. And even then - our own circumstances are so different! Lots of trauma and lots of lows.

And then HIM. 😍

The depths of the pain led to the most exquisite JOY! Can’t have one without the other although I’d opt for the “no pain, please” option if I could 😅 But life doesn’t work like that and humans are capable of and designed to experiencing both in our moral existence. And it’s really all quite incredible how resilient we are.

You’re resilient too, even when you feel broken. @fearless.infertility 🤍🫶🏼 #infertility #ivfsuccess #ivfjourney #infertilitycommunity
