Ingredients
  

For the Pretzel Crust:

2 cups pretzel crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated 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 fresh 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 granulated sugar. Mix well until the combination resembles wet sand.

        - Transfer the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and press it firmly into an even layer to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until it turns lightly golden. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

          Make the Yogurt Layer:

            - In a separate mixing bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.

              - Gently spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust, using a spatula to create a smooth surface on top.

                Prepare the Strawberry Layer:

                  - In another bowl, combine the hulled and sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice. Gently toss the strawberries to coat them evenly in the mixture. Allow the strawberries to sit for about 10-15 minutes. This will enable them to macerate and release their juices, enhancing their flavor.

                    - Once macerated, layer the strawberries evenly over the yogurt layer, ensuring even coverage.

                      Freeze and Set:

                        - Cover the dish with plastic wrap tightly to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 4 hours, though for best results, an overnight freeze is recommended to ensure the layers set properly.

                          Serve Your Delight:

                            - After freezing, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. This will soften the dessert slightly, making it easier to cut. Cut into squares for serving.

                              - If desired, serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with extra fresh strawberries for an eye-catching presentation.

                                  Presentation Tips: Arrange the squares on a platter and drizzle with additional strawberry juices if any are leftover. Place fresh mint leaves alongside for a refreshing pop of color.
