Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Measure out 2 cups of pretzel sticks, 1/2 cup of coconut cream, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Rinse and gently pat dry 1 cup of mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries). If using strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces for easier serving.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Ensure that the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Once the coconut cream mixture is ready, take the pretzel sticks and break them into smaller pieces if desired. This will make it easier to layer them in the dessert.
- In serving glasses or bowls, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of broken pretzel sticks at the bottom. This will provide a crunchy base for your dessert.
- Next, add a generous layer of the coconut cream mixture on top of the pretzel layer. Use a spoon to spread it evenly.
- Add a layer of mixed berries on top of the coconut cream. You can alternate between the different types of berries for a colorful presentation.
- Repeat the layering process until you have used all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of the coconut cream mixture topped with a few berries for garnish.
- Once assembled, let the dessert sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can also refrigerate it for a short period if you prefer a chilled dessert.
- Serve the Berries Cream Coconut Pretzel Dessert immediately, or store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Enjoy this delightful and refreshing treat!
Tips
- Choose fresh, ripe berries for the most intense flavor and vibrant color.
- For extra smoothness, chill your coconut cream mixture before assembling the dessert.
- Use clear glasses or dessert bowls to showcase the beautiful layers.
- For a more decadent version, you can lightly toast the pretzel pieces before layering.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, adjust the sugar quantity to taste.
- Experiment with different berry combinations to find your perfect mix.
- For a make-ahead option, prepare the components separately and assemble just before serving to maintain the pretzel's crunchiness.
