  • 8 ounces extra creamy cool whip
  • 3 cups fresh blackberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9×13 baking dish by lightly greasing it.
  2. In a large bowl, mix crushed pretzels, brown sugar, and flour. Stir in melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool.
  4. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; then fold in the cool whip until well combined.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pretzel crust.
  6. For the topping, combine blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring until thickened (about 5 minutes). Let cool slightly before pouring over cream cheese layer.
  7. Chill for at least four hours before slicing and serving.
