How to Make Strawberry Pretzel Trifle
Step 1: Prepare the Pretzel Base
- In a medium bowl, mix the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
- 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
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Assemble the Trifle
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the pretzel layer.
- 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.
- Repeat the layers: Add another layer of the cream cheese mixture, followed by the remaining strawberry mixture.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired.
