Ingredients
-
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.
