# What You'll Need:
→ Crust
01 -
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 -
3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 -
2 1/2 cups pretzels, crushed
→ Cream Cheese Layer
04 -
12 ounces whipped topping (think Cool Whip)
05 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
06 -
3/4 cup granulated sugar
07 -
12 ounces cream cheese
→ Peach Jello Layer
08 -
4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
09 -
2 cups ice water
10 -
2 cups boiling water
11 -
6 ounces peach flavored gelatin
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cut into pieces and enjoy cold. If you want, throw a little extra whipped topping on top.
02 -
Carefully pour that peachy Jello mix over the cream cheese base. Pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, covered, and let it set up.
03 -
Drop the diced peaches into the Jello mix. Stick it in the fridge for about 15 minutes so it thickens up but still pours easily.
04 -
Stir up peach gelatin powder with 2 cups of boiling water. Mix really well, then toss in the 2 cups of ice water and stir until it’s all smooth.
05 -
Smooth the creamy cheese mixture over your cooled pretzel layer. Try to go all the way to the edge so nothing leaks down.
06 -
Mix cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and vanilla until it’s soft and blended. Gently fold in the whipped topping so it stays fluffy.
07 -
Slide the pan in for 10 minutes. Pull it out and leave it to cool fully before you do anything else.
08 -
Stir up crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter together in a bowl. Press everything flat into your greased pan.
09 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Rub a little butter on all sides and bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Blitz those pretzels in a food processor if you want a smoother base.
02 -
Go slow when you cover the pretzel part with the cream cheese layer. Make sure you get it to the edges or it might get soggy.
03 -
Toss the chopped peaches in with the warm gelatin so they stay bright and colorful.
04 -
It’s ready to pour over when the peaches hang out in the Jello, not sink to the bottom.
