CRANBERRY PRETZEL SALAD

Steps:

• Line an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, making sure there is enough overhang to cover the sides by an inch or two.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Crush the pretzels in a blender or food processor until they are mostly crumbs-I like to have a few larger pretzel pieces in there so people can really get a bit of pretzel texture in every bite.
• Pour the crumbs into a large bowl. Add the butter and sugar, and stir until combined.
• Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Bake for about 12 minutes, until golden brown and matte. Let the crust cool while you make the cream cheese layer.
• Pour the hot water into a small heatproof bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let dissolve.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes until soft peaks form.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the confectioner's sugar and whip until firm peaks form, about 1-2 minutes more.
• Transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl.
• Gently heat the dissolved gelatin, either in the microwave in 10-second bursts or over a bowl of simmering water or diffuser plate on the stove. Stir frequently until the liquid is clear.
• Let the gelatin cool slightly while you continue working.
• Add the softened cream cheese to the stand mixer bowl and switch to the paddle attachment.
• Beat on medium speed until fluffy, then scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again.
• Add half the whipped cream to the cream cheese, beating on medium speed just until incorporated.
• Beat in the remaining whipped cream and drizzle the dissolved gelatin into the mixture while the mixer is running, continuing to beat until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Spread the whipped cream cheese layer evenly over the pretzel crust, making sure all the edges are covered.
• Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until fully chilled.
• Heat the cranberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves and the liquid comes to a simmer.
• Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries soften and start to burst.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the Jello packet until dissolved.
• Carefully pour the cranberry Jello over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly in the pan.
• Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set-or let it rest overnight.
• Carefully lift the dessert out of the pan and onto a cutting board using the parchment paper as a set of handles.
• With a long knife, slice into 9 squares. Wipe the knife between slices to ensure clean cuts.
• Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days. The cranberry will eventually bleed down into the cream cheese and the pretzels will become soggy, so don't wait too long to enjoy!
