Instructions
Strawberry layer
- Place the strawberries and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir together the lemon juice, zest, vanilla and cornstarch. Pour over the strawberries and sugar. Bring to a boil.
- Turn the heat down to low and cook another 5-10 minutes Start Timer. Strawberries will begin to release their natural juices.
- Take off the heat and allow to cool, then refrigerate. It’s best if this is completely cooled so when you spoon it on top of the other layers it’s a clean layer and the juices don’t bleed down the sides of the parfait glasses.
Pretzel layer
- Pulse pretzels into a pretty fine texture - some little chunks are okay - then stir in brown sugar and melted butter.
- Divide this mixture into the cups and press down to create the crust. Set aside.
Creamy layer
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment for 2-3 minutes Start Timer until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and mix again.
- Then, fold in the cool whip.
Assemble
- Measurements will vary depending on the size cups you use. I like to layer in the following order
- ~3 Tbsp. pretzel mixture, ~¼ cup creamy mixture, ~2 Tbsp. of the cooled topping Yields ~10-12 cups depending on the cup size.
- Enjoy right away or refrigerate for a few hours prior to serving!
Notes
- Storage
- Once assembled, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Note: the pretzel crust may start to soften after the first day due to the moisture from the cream cheese layer.
- To store in separate layers: each layer can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store the pretzel layer in a baggie at room temperature so it stays crisp. Keep the cream cheese and strawberry layers in containers in the fridge.
