Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzels crushed
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1/2 cup sugar for cream layer
- 1 packet raspberry gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
Crush the Pretzels
- Place pretzels in a zip bag. Crush them using a rolling pin until small pieces form. Do not make them too fine. Small chunks give better texture.
Make the Crust
- Mix crushed pretzels with melted butter and sugar. Stir well until coated. Press mixture into a baking dish evenly. Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes. Let it cool fully.
Prepare the Cream Layer
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add whipped topping and mix gently. Spread this layer over cooled crust evenly.
Chill the Base
- Place the dish in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps the cream layer set properly. It also keeps layers separate and clean.
Prepare the Gelatin
- In a bowl, add raspberry gelatin to boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Add cold water and mix well. Let it cool slightly before using.
Add the Fruit Layer
- Place fresh raspberries over the cream layer. Spread them evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
Pour the Gelatin
- Slowly pour the cooled gelatin over raspberries. Do not pour too fast. This keeps the layers neat and prevents mixing.
Chill Until Set
- Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours. The gelatin should fully set before serving. This step is very important for best texture.
Notes
- Do not skip chilling time for best results.
- Make sure crust is fully cooled before adding cream.
- Use fresh raspberries for better flavor.
- Pour gelatin slowly to keep layers clean.
- Use a glass dish for a beautiful look.
