Strawberry Pretzel Dessert Cups

Step 1

Add the pretzels to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. (See Kelly’s Note.) Add the pretzels to a medium bowl then stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well-combined. Set aside.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a handheld mixer), beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Divide the pretzel mixture among serving cups, reserving a portion to sprinkle atop the cups as garnish.

Step 4

Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the pretzels. (Alternately, transfer it to a piping bag or plastic bag, snip off the tip and pipe the mixture into the cups.)

Step 5

Spoon the chopped strawberries atop the cream cheese mixture.

Step 6

Spoon the whipped cream atop the strawberries then garnish with the reserved pretzel crumbs. Serve.

Step 7

If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the pretzels in a sealed plastic bag.
