Peach Pretzel Salad Dessert

Peach Pretzel Salad Dessert slice served on plate

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 9×13 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.
