For the filling:
- 1 block 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tub 8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
To make the crust:
Preheat your oven to 350⁰ F.
In a food processor, pulse the pretzels until roughly chopped.
Add the melted butter and sugar, and continue pulsing until all ingredients are combined into a chunky sand-like texture.
Pour the pretzel mixture into a baking dish and use the back of a spoon or spatula to press it into an even layer. Set aside.
To make the filling:
Add the cream cheese, whipped topping, and ½ cup granulated sugar to a mixing bowl.
Whip together the ingredients using a whisk or hand mixer until combined.
Cover tightly and place into the fridge to chill for 30-60 minutes.
To make the topping:
Place the blueberries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon into a medium to large-sized sauce pot over medium-high heat.
Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat to medium/medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
To assemble:
Spread the chilled creamy filling mixture over the pretzel crust in an even layer.
Spoon the blueberry sauce over the creamy filling and spread evenly.
Cover and chill for 2-3 hours.
When you're ready to serve, arrange additional pretzels over top of the dish, if desired, then slice into squares.
