Pretzel Gelatin Dessert

recipe Detail

Description

This is one of my mother’s absolute favorite desserts. The salty pretzel crust is the perfect complement to the sweet cream cheese filling.

Ingredient

- Pretzels (about 2 cups)

- Gelatin (1 packet)

- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)

- Salt (1 teaspoon)

- Pepper (1/2 teaspoon)

- Dried parsley (1/2 teaspoon)

- Water (1 cup)

Direction

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Crush the pretzels in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well until all the pretzel pieces are coated with the oil.

4. Take a baking dish and spread the pretzel mixture evenly on the bottom. Press it down gently with your hands or the back of a spoon.

5. Bake the pretzel crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.

6. While the crust is baking, prepare the gelatin according to the instructions on the packet. In a small saucepan, mix 1 cup of water with the gelatin powder and bring it to a boil. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

7. Once the pretzel crust is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

8. Pour the gelatin mixture over the cooled pretzel crust, making sure it covers the entire surface evenly.

9. Place the baking dish in the fridge and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin is set.

10. Before serving, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon each of pepper and dried parsley on top of the gelatin dessert for added flavor and color.

11. Cut the dessert into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your unique and delicious Pretzel Gelatin Dessert!
