Scale
Dip
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 8 ounces Cool Whip or whipped topping thawed
- 3/4 cup strawberry pie filling
- 1/4 cup strawberry pie filling for garnish
Dipping

Instructions
- Prepare cream cheese mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and a pinch of salt together using a handheld electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully blended, creating a light, fluffy base for the dip.

- Serve with pretzels: Offer mini twist pretzels and pretzel crisps alongside the dip for dipping and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and the dip smoother.
- If desired, add a dash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Use fresh or extra crunchy pretzels to contrast with the creamy texture of the dip.
- This dip is best served chilled and consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
