Strawberry Trifle Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups crushed pretzels
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups melted butter
4 cups fresh, sliced strawberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
16 oz softened cream cheese
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
16 oz whipped topping
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine your melted butter, crushed pretzels, brown sugar, and pecans and mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture onto your baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes. Let it cool and then break it apart into pieces. In another large mixing bowl (or wash out the one you just used), beat together your whipped topping, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix in your sugared pretzels and stir thoroughly.
In a large trifle dish, place a layer of about 1 1/2 cups of your strawberry/raspberry mix in the bottom of a trifle dish. Next, spread half your cream cheese mixture on top. Add another layer of your strawberries and raspberries as well as the other half of your cream cheese mixture on top. Finish up by adding the rest of your strawberries and raspberries on top. Enjoy!
