have you ever heard of pretzel salad earlier than? If not, it'd sound completely confounding…but that’s likely just as it’s a very unfashionable recipe that was famous in the 1960s and that isn’t virtually a salad at all.
That’s proper, even though it’s maximum usually stated one, this dish is a dessert that doesn’t look whatever like a salad – although it does have pretzels in it, so at the least that part of the call makes feel. So what’s in this dessert? A deliciously buttery and cinnamon-y pretzel crust, topped with a thick layer of sweetened cream cheese, and, eventually, a jello layer speckled along with your preference of fruit.
now not best does this dish appearance great – hiya, gem-like, fruit jello layer – but it’s additionally insanely yummy. The pretzel crust still has the best contact of saltiness, but the cinnamon provides an unexpected taste that balances the whole thing out. add to that a clean, sweetened cream cheese layer, and the fresh fruit pinnacle layer.
We used peach jello with canned peaches (despite the fact that feel unfastened to use sparkling peaches when they’re in season!) and loved the very last product. the whole thing balances each different out flawlessly and we’re left with a dessert that exams all of our packing containers: crunchy, sweet and salty, creamy, fruity…it’s were given all we ought to need!
