Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Strawberry Preparation
  • 2 cups strawberries Fresh and firm
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar Enhances the natural sweetness
Pretzel Layer
  • 2 cups pretzel mini twists Crushed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth
Yogurt Mixture
  • 1 cup whole milk yogurt or sour cream Creamy base
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar For sweetness and richness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place strawberries in a shallow dish, sprinkle with granulated sugar, and let sit for at least 30 minutes to develop syrup.
Crushing Pretzels
  1. Add pretzels to a food processor and pulse until broken into small chunks. Some should remain chunky.
  2. Drizzle melted butter and cinnamon over crushed pretzels and pulse a few times to combine. Set mixture aside.
Mix Yogurt
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt (or sour cream) and brown sugar until smooth, breaking up any lumps.
Assembly
  1. In each serving vessel, layer yogurt, strawberries, and pretzel mixture. Repeat layers and garnish with extra yogurt and crushed pretzels.
  2. Serve immediately to prevent pretzels from becoming soggy.

Notes

Assemble parfaits just before serving to maintain pretzel crunch. Consider using Greek yogurt for added protein.
