  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 912 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups miniature pretzel twists

  • ⅓ cup melted butter

  • ¼ cup light brown sugar

  • 16 ounces cream cheese

  • ½ cup sugar

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free)

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2½ cups chopped fresh strawberries (for topping)

  • 1½ cups fresh blueberries (for topping)

Instructions

  • Finely crush the pretzels using a food processor, blender, or by placing them in a heavy zip-close bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Aim for small crumbs, not powder.

  • Place the pretzel crumbs into a medium-size mixing bowl. Add melted butter and brown sugar, then stir until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 pan to form an even crust.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.

  • Add heavy cream, Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free), and kosher salt. Continue beating for about 4 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and smooth.

  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pretzel crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, making sure the filling reaches all corners.

  • Generously top with chopped strawberries and fresh blueberries. You can arrange them neatly or scatter them for a rustic look.

  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

  • Fresh berries work best, but thawed frozen berries can also be used if patted dry.

  • To prepare in advance, make the dessert a day before and refrigerate covered.

  • For variety, swap berries with other fruits like raspberries, peaches, or mango.
