Peach Pretzel Delight (Printable Version)

Fresh peaches and fluffy cream cheese stack up on a salty pretzel bottom for a chill, crunchy sweet bite.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 3/4 cup melted unsalted butter
02 - 3/4 cup white sugar
03 - 2 1/2 cups pretzel pieces, smashed

→ Cream Cheese Layer

04 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
05 - 3/4 cup white sugar
06 - 12 ounces cream cheese
07 - 12 ounces whipped topping, like Cool Whip

→ Peach Jello Layer

08 - 4 cups peeled, diced fresh peaches
09 - 2 cups cold water with ice
10 - 2 cups boiling hot water
11 - 6 ounces peach gelatin mix

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Cut into squares and enjoy cold. Add a fluffy whipped topping if you want.
02 - Pour the peachy jello right over that creamy layer. Cover up and pop it in the fridge for a couple hours to set.
03 - Toss the peach pieces into jello. Let it sit in the fridge fifteen minutes till it thickens but stays pourable.
04 - Mix the gelatin with two cups boiling water and stir till it’s all gone. Pour in icy water and keep stirring.
05 - Spread that creamy filling on the crust, making sure none of it leaks down the side.
06 - Beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla till it’s totally smooth. Fold whipped topping in gently.
07 - Bake got ten minutes, then cool off the crust all the way before moving on.
08 - Mix up pretzel crumbs, sugar, and that buttery goodness. Push it into the bottom of your buttered pan.
09 - Turn the oven to 350°F. Smear butter on the bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Pretzel crumbs come out super fine if you use your food processor.
02 - Make sure to cover every bit of crust with the filling so nothing gets soggy.
03 - Mix the fruit into the warm jello so the peaches don’t turn brown.
04 - The jello mix is perfect for pouring once the peaches float and don’t sink.
05 - Go wild and add extra whipped topping to each piece if you’re feeling fancy.
