Recipe Ingredients

For the Pretzel Crust:

• 4 cups Pretzel Sticks
• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) Butter, melted
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar

For the Strawberry Filling:

• 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 package (3.5 oz) Strawberry-flavored Jello
• 1 1/2 cups Water
• 3 pints Strawberries, hulled and halved

For Topping:

• Unsweetened Whipped Cream

How To Make Strawberry Pretzel Pie

1. Make the Pretzel Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Crush the pretzels in a large resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin until finely crushed. In a bowl, combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and brown sugar, then mix well. Press the mixture into a pie pan to form a crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups water, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and strawberry Jello powder. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Assemble the Pie: Gently toss the hulled strawberries in the cooled sauce, then let them sit for 5-7 minutes to soak up the flavor. Carefully pile the coated strawberries into the cooled pretzel crust. Spoon over any leftover sauce if desired.
4. Refrigerate and Serve: Refrigerate the pie, uncovered, for 4 hours to let it set. Slice and serve with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream on top for a sweet finish.
5. Enjoy this irresistible dessert with the perfect mix of sweet and salty!

Recipe Tips

• Crush Pretzels Evenly: Make sure to crush the pretzels into small, even pieces. This helps the crust hold together well and gives a uniform texture.
• Let the Strawberry Sauce Cool: Don’t pour the hot sauce over the strawberries right away. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes to avoid wilting the fruit.
• Use Fresh, Ripe Strawberries: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. They will give your pie a natural sweetness and vibrant color.
• Cool the Crust Completely: Allow the pretzel crust to cool fully before adding the strawberry filling. This prevents the crust from becoming soggy.
• Refrigerate Long Enough: Don’t rush the chilling process. Let the pie set in the fridge for at least 4 hours to help it firm up and make it easier to slice.

How To Store Leftovers
