Ingredients
  

2 cups mini pretzels, crushed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla based on preference)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pretzel Crust:

    - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed mini pretzels, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the pretzels are evenly coated with the butter and sugar mixture.

        - Firmly press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish, ensuring it's packed down evenly to form a solid crust.

          - Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes just to set it, then take it out and let it cool completely at room temperature.

            Make the Yogurt Filling:

              - In a clean mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

                - Carefully fold in the whipped cream, mixing gently but thoroughly until the yogurt filling is light and airy.

                  Layering the Filling:

                    - Start assembling your dessert by pouring half of the yogurt mixture over the cooled pretzel crust. Spread it evenly across the surface with a spatula.

                      - Next, arrange half of the sliced strawberries on top of the yogurt layer, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.

                        - Repeat the layering process with the remaining yogurt mixture and the rest of the sliced strawberries, positioning them on top of the first layers.

                          Freeze and Set:

                            - Cover the baking dish securely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the squares are completely firm throughout.

                              Slice and Serve:

                                - When ready to serve, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, making slicing easier.

                                  - Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the dessert into 9 squares. Serve immediately and delight in the refreshing combination of creamy yogurt, sweet strawberries, and the crunch of the pretzel crust!

                                      - Presentation Tips: Serve the squares on a chilled platter, garnished with extra sliced strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra touch of elegance.
