Ingredients
  

For the Pretzel Crust:

2 cups pretzel crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup sugar

For the Yogurt Layer:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Layer:

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Serving:

Whipped cream (optional)

Fresh strawberries, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pretzel Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a mixing bowl, combine the pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

        - Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

          Make the Yogurt Layer:

            - In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

              - Spread this yogurt mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top.

                Prepare the Strawberry Layer:

                  - In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the strawberries and allow them to sit for about 10-15 minutes to release their juices.

                    - Once they are macerated, layer the strawberries evenly over the yogurt layer.

                      Freeze and Set:

                        - Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, overnight freezing is recommended.

                          Serve Your Delight:

                            - Once frozen, remove from the freezer and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier cutting. Cut into squares.

                              - Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with extra fresh strawberries, if desired.
