Crust:
Finely crush the pretzels in a food processor, blender, or using a rolling pin in a heavy zip-lock bag. Place the crumbs in a medium bowl.*
Add the melted butter and brown sugar; stir to combine.
Press the crust mixture into the bottom of an 8×8 pan.
Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar; beat until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt; beat until smooth and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Pour over the crust, smoothing out with a spatula.
Top with strawberries and blueberries. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
9-12 servings.
*Tip: If you prefer a more traditional crumb crust that can be more easily sliced, grind every bit of the pretzels into fine crumbs.
