Servings: 12
Ingredients
For the Jello
- (2) 3 ounce boxes peach jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups fresh ripe peaches, diced
For the Filling
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 ounce cool whip, thawed
Instructions
For the Jello
- Dissolve jello in boiling water.
- Stir in peaches then refrigerate for 1½ hours until partially set.
For the Crust
- In a small bowl, mix pretzels, sugar, and butter together.
- Press firmly into a 13 x 9 baking dish and bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
For the Filling
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and cool whip together until smooth.
- Spread over cooled pretzel crust.
- Place in the fridge until cool.
- Spoon jello mixture over the top of the cream cheese. Spread evenly.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 4-6 hours until jello has set.
Notes
- Let the pretzel crust cool fully before adding the filling to prevent melting.
- Let the Jell-O thicken for about 1½ hours before adding it to the dessert—still soft but not liquid.
- Chill until serving, especially when taking to events outdoors. This maintains its texture and freshness.
