Strawberry Pretzel Salad

(Erdbeer Brezel Salat)

This is more like a dessert but also reminicent of the Jello salad molds of the 70's with a crunchy pretzel base. Sweet and salty pretzels make a great contrast to the sweetness of the salad.

Cuisinart 9 Speed Hand Mixer

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

These were pretzel thins, I crushed them in a plastic storage bag to a texture like granola.
Blend it with butter and sugar and pour into a baking dish. so it is in a thin layer but not spread out.
Bake for 15 minutes until it crisps up almost like a peanut brittle.

Next slice, sugar and vanilla the strawberries and let them sit for a minute to juice.
Add the gelatin.

Soften the cream cheese and whip it till smooth and fold in the yogurt.
a hand mixer works nice to really fluff it up.

Layer the parfait glasses with a layer of the pretzel crumbs, then the cream filling, and then the strawberry and Jello topping.

This is how it looks then I put a small scoop of the filling on top.

5. Top the parfaits or the mold with some of the cream filling, and sprinkle some of the pretzle crumbs on top, and for a nice touch, a pretzel thin or a few of the sticks for garnish. A mint leaf tooks nice also
