Pretty as a Princess Parfait

The Nephews and Nieces all know about “You’re as Pretty as a Princess!”  All I can say is a Princess camera AND almost dead batteries. (still cracks me up!) Thanks Andrea for that toy as well!  
This dessert from her Princess recipe book seemed very appropriate.

I put all the ingredients in bowls and she went at it.  We had to mix the cream cheese, milk and vanilla, but much too hard for her, so I grabbed the hand mixer to help!  

She stirred after that.

note:  the collage of pics is thanks to picmonkey.com. (Thanks to my all time favorite blog: a beautiful little life for that tip).  You can collage all sorts of pics into one and do all kinds of fun things with photos.  You will now see lots of collages!

She loved adding the pretzels and strawberries and I blobbed on the cream cheese in between so she could have her taste of the pretzels and strawberries … a couple of her favorite snacks! (see our strawberry posts from Aug. 15).  She got the cream spoon too.

Quick and easy and she loved putting it all together! And eating it too :) 

My review of the recipe:

We didn’t have the curvy pretzels as we get the sticks as they are best for dipping in peanut butter! Probably not as pretty. I did add a tablespoon of sugar and an additional tablespoon of milk to the cream cheese as it was very cream cheesy tasting and too thick a texture.  Next time I will use whip cream instead, as that is another of her favorites.  Cream Cheese…not so much.  Or strawberry yogurt.   Eat it right away...dad found this out when he had his after dinner...soggy pretzels. Finally, our sundae glasses were in the dishwasher as I had just made pudding...those would have been better to show off the clumps of cream cheese...oh well :)

Enjoy!
