Fourth of July Pie
Make this the perfect ending to your July 4th cookout!
Ingredients
Pretzel Pie Crust
- 3 cups small pretzels
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake Layer Pie Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
Fruit Topping
- 1 cup strawberries quartered
- ¼ cup blueberries
- 2 tbsp strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Crush the pretzels in a food processor or blender. Add to a medium bowl with melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until it is the texture of wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9" pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely before filling.
- To make the filling, combine cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to mix, until light and fluffy. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture just until combined, then spread into the prepared pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Add the jam and ¼ cup water to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk until well combined and the jam is thin. Cook it down a little until it forms a glaze-like texture. Drizzle the glaze over the strawberries and blueberries. Stir until the fruit is completely coated.
- Top the pie as if you are recreating the American Flag. Keep refrigerated until serving.
