This Pineapple Pretzel Fluff Salad is a refreshing summer treat that has been around for ages. A fruity salad that is made with pineapple, frozen whipped topping, cream cheese, and pretzels. This salad is super good, everyone is crazy over this! The sweet and crunchy combination of this salad is to die for! Right before serving, add the pretzel mixture to keep it crispy.
I love this pineapple pretzel fluff salad is my favorite to bring to potlucks and picnics. And an amazing dessert perfect for any occasion. I often serve the pretzels in a bowl next to the salad and let my guests put them on the salad. This will prevent the pretzels from getting soft.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 c. pretzels, roughly crushed
1 (8 ounces) package of cream cheese, softened
1 c. sugar, divided
1 (12 ounces) container of frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (20 ounces) can crush pineapple, drained
How to make Pineapple Pretzel Fluff Salad
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F. Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, line a baking sheet.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, place the pretzels, melted butter, and 1/2 cup sugar. Mix well until combined.
Step 3: On the prepared baking sheet, spread the mixture in an even layer. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 7 minutes. When done, take the baking sheet out of the oven. Allow cooling before crumbling into pieces.
Step 4: Place the cream cheese in a large bowl and beat for about 2 to 4 minutes or until fluffy. Then, stir in the rest of the half cup sugar. Next, fold in the drained pineapple along with the thawed frozen whipped topping. Allow this to set for an hour.
Step 5: Right before serving, sprinkle the salad with crumbled pretzel topping. Enjoy!
