Ingredients
1box(3.4 ounce) strawberry jello gelatin
1box(3.4 ounce) Instant cheesecake pudding
2cupscold whole milk
12individual bags (1 ounce each) mini Pretzels
1cupheavy whipping cream
3tablespoonspowdered sugar
2 & 1/2cupsfresh strawberries, thinly sliced
Instructions
Prepare strawberry jello according to package directions and allow it to chill in the fridge until completely solidified. Then use a spoon to chop it up so you can easily spoon and divide between the bags.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant cheesecake pudding and milk. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until thickened, then place in the fridge for 5 minutes to set.
While the pudding chills, in another bowl combine the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. With an electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks have formed.
Using scissors, carefully cut the top across the seam of the mini pretzel packs. Empty out the pretzels into a reusable plastic bag (reserve a few per bag for garnish) and lightly crush up the rest.
Fold over the top opening of the bags to form a 1/2" collar (this will make the packet a little sturdier for eating out of.)
Put a couple tablespoons of the pretzel pieces back into the bottom of each Pretzel bag, then top with a spoonful of pudding, a spoonful of strawberry jello, a spoonful of whipped cream, and a couple slices of strawberries. Repeat those layers until full to the top (finishing with a couple whole mini pretzels and strawberry slices for presentation.)(TIP! This is easier if you have a tray or baking dish with higher sides so you can stand them up while filling. It's also a great way to serve them to a group!)
Serve with some disposable spoons for easy clean up!
Notes
Assemble these super fast using prepared ingredients. Prepared Snack Pack pudding, jello cups, and Cool Whip or Reddi Whip can be used instead of boxed pudding and jello or homemade whipped cream, if preferred.
