How to Make Creamy Layered Prezel Dessert
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush 1 ½ cups pretzels into coarse crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the pretzel crumbs with ¼ cup granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Mix well.
- Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add ¼ cup powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add ½ cup powdered sugar and beat until combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the cream cheese mixture to set.
- Spread your favorite pie filling (approximately 2 cups) evenly over the cream cheese layer. (Apple, cherry, or blueberry pie filling are great options!)
- Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill completely.
