Whip Up the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and thawed Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
Flavor Boost! Add the dry strawberry Jello mix and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat again until well combined.
Berry Good Bits: Gently fold in the frozen strawberries, making sure to keep most of the liquid out (you don't want a soupy dip!).
Chill Out: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes, or until cold and set. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken up.
Pretzel Perfection: Once chilled, grab your favorite pretzels and get dipping! This dip is perfect with pretzel sticks,pretzel crisps, or even broken-up pieces of sourdough bread.
