Peach Pretzel Salad Dessert

Ingredients

Peach Gelatin Layer

  • 2 1/3 c. boiling water
  • 1 6 oz. box peach gelatin
  • 4 c. sliced peaches fresh or canned

Pretzel Crust

  • 2 1/2 c. crushed pretzels
  • 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
  • 3/4 c. melted butter

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 8 oz. carton whipped topping
  • 1 pasteurized egg OPTIONAL

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Combine the gelatin with boiling water in a medium bowl. Whisk until gelatin is dissolved. Roughly chop the peaches and add them to the gelatin mixture. Allow to cool just until it is soft set.
  • Add the pretzels to a resealable bag and using a rolling pin, crush the pretzels until they are small pieces. Add them to a medium bowl along with the powdered sugar and butter. Mix until the pretzels are coated.
  • Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°. Cool.
  • Meanwhile beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and egg (optional) until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Carefully spread over the pretzel crust.
  • Pour the soft set gelatin and peach mixture over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate the dessert until the gelatin is fully set. Serve chilled.
