Froyo Pretzel Pie
Sweet & Salty desserts are trending with unusual flavor combinations such as Chocolate & Bacon, and Sea-salt & Caramel (like our Salt City Caramel ice cream-YUM!)
Try this Froyo Pretzel Pie- sweet strawberries & a salty pretzel crust, the perfect make ahead dessert for the warmer weather!
Crust:
2 cups finely crushed pretzel sticks
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbs. water
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Filling:
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 (14-oz.) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 cup Byrne Hollow Farm Plain Greek Yoghurt
5 Tbs. strawberry gelatin
2 cups Byrne Dairy Heavy Cream, divided
1/3 cup sugar
1.Preheat oven to 350°F. To finely crush pretzel sticks, grind in a food processor or place in a plastic resealable bag and crush with a mallet. Transfer crumbs to a bowl.
2. Add vegetable oil, water, and brown sugar. Stir to combine; firmly press on bottom and up sides of a 10-inch pie plate (I used a measuring cup to help compact the crumbs & create an even thickness for the crust.)
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and cool completely (about 30 minutes).
3. Process strawberries in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add condensed milk, yoghurt, and gelatin. Set aside.
4. Beat 3/4 cup heavy cream at high speed until soft peaks form; gently fold whipped cream into strawberry mixture. Pour into prepared crust. Cover and freeze 8 hours, or until firm.
5. Beat remaining 1-1/4 cups heavy cream at high speed until foamy; gradually add in sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Spread over pie. Decorate with additional sliced strawberries, optional. Freeze 1 hour or until whipped cream is firm.
