This recipe has probably been around forever. I bring it back now because it looks so festive on your holiday table. Especially w/ a dollop of whipped cream and a raspberry to look like a Santa hat! Creamy, cool, and refreshing. Subtle sweetness combined with a slight saltiness from the pretzel crust is a merry match! You may use strawberry but we prefer the tanginess of the raspberry. Please note that the 3 layers need separate refrigeration times. You will want to start this early in the day of or the day prior to serving. Lots of refrigeration time but minimal labor required.
