Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/3 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until all the pretzel crumbs are coated with the butter mixture.
- Press about two tablespoons of the pretzel mixture into the bottom of each serving glass or jar to form the crust. Reserve some mixture for topping.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well-combined and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and evenly distributed.
- Layer the cream cheese mixture over the pretzel crust in the serving glasses. Smooth the top gently with a spoon or spatula.
- In a small bowl, stir together the sliced strawberries and strawberry jam until the strawberries are well-coated.
- Spoon the strawberry mixture over the cream layer in each glass, ensuring even distribution and an attractive presentation.
- Sprinkle the reserved pretzel mixture on top for an extra crunch.
- Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For a sweeter dessert, adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the cream cheese mixture.
- This can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to substitute strawberries with other berries or fruits.
