How to Make Strawberry Pretzel Trifle

Step 1: Prepare the Pretzel Base

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of a trifle dish or large glass bowl, pressing it down slightly to form a base layer.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

  1. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Assemble the Trifle

  1. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the pretzel layer.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the strawberry jam with the sliced strawberries. Spread half of this strawberry mixture on top of the cream cheese layer.
  3. Repeat the layers: Add another layer of the cream cheese mixture, followed by the remaining strawberry mixture.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
  2. Before serving, garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired.
