This healthier strawberry pretzel salad perfect combination of salty and sweet and is guaranteed to be crowd-pleaser. It&#39;s topped with a fresh strawberry chia jam layer instead of strawberry jello.

crushed salted pretzels (about 5-6 cups twists, whole grain if desired)

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)

½ Tablespoons monkfruit granulated sugar (or cane sugar)

plain Greek yogurt

9 oz container Tru Whip or Cool Whip (thawed)

sugar sugar

strawberries (sliced)

Tablespoons chia seeds

lemon juice

Preheat oven.

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment.

Crush pretzels.

Process pretzels in a food processor to crush them, if you haven’t already. You’ll want to pulse until they are ground with a few larger chunks for texture.

Mix.

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely. You can put it in the fridge or freezer to speed up the process!

Make jam.

While the crust is cooling, prepare the chia jam. Add strawberries to a saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until the berries start to break down and the mixture is bubbling, about 10 minutes or so.. You can use the back of a spoon or potato masher to mash the berries and create your desired consistency. Stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice and sweetener. Add 1 Tablespoon first, taste and add more, if needed. Remove mixture from heat and let cool the mixture cool and thicken while you prepare the Greek yogurt layer and let it cool.

Mix yogurt and cream cheese.

Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer) on medium speed, combine the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese (be sure it’s nice and soft), whipped topping and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Layer and chill.

Once the pretzel crust has cooled completely, spread the Greek yogurt mixture evenly over it. Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours to chill.

Layer.

Once the chia jam has cooled, spread the mixture over the Greek yogurt layer all the way to the edges.

Refrigerate.

Refrigerate the salad for at least 1-2 hours so everything is firm.

Serve.

Strawberry Pretzel Dessert without jello or dairy? You bet! This vegan version uses agar agar and real strawberries to create a vegan “jell-o.” Underneath is a layer of sweet and fluffy cream cheese, followed by a crunchy pretzel crust. Always a hit. No potluck or holiday meal is complete without pretzel salad!

Vegan Strawberry Pretzel Salad

vegan butter, melted

organic cane sugar

vegan cream cheese, room temperature (I recommend Miyoko's.)

coconut cream

organic powdered sugar, sifted

water, divided

agar agar powder

Prep

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, and clear space in both the freezer and refrigerator for a 9x13 dish.

Bake

Pulse the pretzels in a food processor until crumbled. Add melted butter and sugar, and pulse again to combine. Press into a 9x13-inch casserole dish, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden. Set aside to cool.

Using a handheld or stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese and coconut cream until smooth. Add sifted sugar, and beat until fully incorporated. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled pretzel crust, making sure to spread it ALL the way to the edges, so the pretzel layer is completely sealed.

Freeze

Place the dish in the freezer for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the cream cheese is firm to the touch.

Simmer

After 1 hour, it&#39;s time to prepare the strawberry layer. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 pound frozen (or fresh) strawberries with 2 3/4 cups water and 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a simmer, and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until the strawberries have lost their color.

Strain

Pour the strawberry water through a fine mesh sieve, capturing the liquid in a clean bowl. Rinse the sieve and strain the strawberry water one more time so it&#39;s clear and free from particles. (Those strawberries can be eaten or discarded.) You should have about 2 3/4 cups (22 ounces) of strawberry juice. Set aside.

Slice the remaining pound of strawberries, and arrange them on top of the cold cream cheese layer. Return the dish to freezer.

Cool

Rinse the saucepan so it&#39;s clean. Combine 1/2 cup water and the agar powder in the pan. Whisk to dissolve the agar. Whisk in 2/3 cup sugar, and bring to a boil. Whisking frequently, simmer for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then remove from heat. Immediately whisk the strawberry juice into the agar mixture. This will cool it down slightly. Continue whisking occasionally, and let it cool until warm but not hot, about 15 minutes. (Keep an eye on it! If the agar begins to set, immediately pour it over the strawberries.)

Pour

When the agar feels lukewarm, remove the dish from freezer and carefully pour the strawberry &quot;jell-o&quot; over the strawberries. It will begin to set almost instantly upon contact with the cold berries and cream cheese. Keep in mind, where you pour the agar is where it will stay, so move around the dish as you pour so the gel layer is even.

Chill

Refrigerate until fully chilled, about 2 hours. Serve with vegan whipped cream.

I was so happy to find this recipe.  Thank you for your time creating it.v I've made it with both raspberries and blackberries, and cocowhip instead coconut cream and it turns out perfect and delicious.

It says in the recipe to use a slotted spoon to pour the Jello through,  then carefully place the Strawberries 🍓 in the Jello layer. Also I always put the dessert in the 
Fridge for a while to help firm up the cream cheese layer. I love this dessert but it's an all day event for me.

I always spray my pan w a canola spray( or pam)
Problem solved. ENJOY

Could I use wax paper in the bottom of my 9 X 12 dish so the crust won't stick?

I have substituted raspberries and the taste is still great. Yummmy.

Was very easy to make.and everyone loves it.
