I turned Strawberry Pretzel Salad into an easy, fast, and delicious DIP recipe! Strawberry Pretzel Dip is a fluffy sweet cream cheese dip with tons of strawberry flavor and it’s perfect for dipping pretzels!
Somehow we entered a time warp back in January and when we stepped out it was mid-May. I’m not quite sure how that happened but Memorial Day is right around the corner. After that, summer and with it pool parties, BBQs, the 4th of July…all times when you need lots of potluck ready appetizers and desserts that are no-bake, easy, and fast.
This Strawberry Pretzel Salad Dip fits all of those requirements. Especially the one where it’s good for a party. It’s perfect for a backyard BBQ, a potluck or just because you love cream cheese dip or strawberry pretzel salad!

Ingredient Notes
I daresay, the actual salad recipe is pretty easy but this dip? Is even easier. Just a few simple ingredients get mixed together and it’s ready to serve.
The classic Strawberry Pretzel Salad recipe includes cream cheese, whipped topping, and sugar. Then it’s topped with strawberries and jell-o and it’s all on top of a pretzel crust.
This recipe is very similar. The base of the dip is the same as the middle of that layered dessert. Cream cheese, sugar, and whipped topping are mixed together (you could substitute whipped cream). Then, instead of using jell-o, I used strawberry pie filling. Just swirl some in and add some to the top for garnish.
Instead of making crust, you just serve this with pretzels. Or a spoon. I won’t judge.
How to make Strawberry Pretzel Dip Tips
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened so you don’t have lumps.
- I love cool whip but you could use 3 cups of freshly whipped cream instead.
- You can find strawberry pie filling in the baking aisle, near the pie crusts and other pie fillings.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If using cool whip you can freeze the dip also!
