If you like the combination of sweet and salty, this dessert will hit the spot. We lightened it from traditional versions, plus serve it in pretty individual cups for easy portion control.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine chopped strawberries and 1 Tbsp sugar or sweetener. Mix well until coated. Set aside.
Add pretzels to the bowl of a food processor and blend until you have pretzel crumbs. In a medium bowl combine pretzel crumbs, melted butter and 1 Tbsp sugar. Mix with a fork until pretzel crumbs are moist. Set aside.
Combine cream cheese, ½ cup sugar and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until your mixture is creamy.
Add whipped topping and mix until combined.
To assemble, add 2 Tbsp pretzel mixture to each cup and press down on mixture with your fingers to create a crust.
Add the cream cheese filling, dividing evenly between the 16 servings (reserve a little to dollop on top of each cup). Divide strawberries into 16 portions and spoon over each serving. Add dollop of remaining mixture to each cup.
