A delightful dessert combining a crunchy pretzel crust, creamy filling, and fruity berry topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures the crust bakes evenly.
Combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the pretzels are well coated.
Press the mixture evenly into a 9x13 inch pan and bake for 8 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Use the back of a spoon to press the crust firmly.
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, whipped topping, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Chill the crust briefly before adding the filling to prevent mixing.
Dissolve the gelatin in boiling water, then stir in the mixed berries.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the berries.
Carefully pour the berry mixture over the cream cheese layer and refrigerate until set.
Pour slowly to maintain the layers.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Berry Bliss Pretzel Delight!
Garnish with fresh berries for an elegant touch.
