There’s just something about salty sweet desserts that gets me every time. Especially desserts like this Raspberry Pretzel Salad. This recipe has been around FOREVER and it’s one of my favorites. It’s perfect for pretty much any occasion and since it’s made with frozen raspberries, you can make it year-round.
I love that this dessert starts with a pretzel crust. You don’t find those very often and at first glance, this dessert looks like it’s built on a standard graham cracker crust. Not so my friends!
The salty pretzel crust is topped with an amazingly creamy layer made with cream cheese and Cool Whip. You can always sub in whipped cream if you want. It just takes a little longer.

The next layer is the raspberry Jello layer and it adds such a punch of flavor and sweetness to the salad. This also happens to be Reece’s and Bryce’s favorite layer. Mine too, now that I think about it 🙂 That bright color is what makes this dessert so much fun!
I took my old recipe and lightened it up a bit and then added a layer of Cool Whip and a sprinkle of crushed pretzels to the top. I think it’s just the update this Raspberry Pretzel Salad needed. This salad is so much fun and you’re going to love the sweet and salty combo!
This dessert salad is the perfect make-ahead dessert for any occasion!
