Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 12

PRETZEL CRUST:
1 1/2 to 2 c coarsely crushed pretzels, reserve some for the top
2/3 c butter, melted
FILLINGS:
1/3 c caramel sauce, either homemade or commercial
1 pkg (12 oz) milk-chocolate chips, bittersweet, semi sweet, dark, or a combination (reserve some for topping)
1/3 c heavy cream
1 1/3 c creamy peanut butter
1 pkg (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sugar (or splenda/stevia)
1 pt heavy cream
1/3 c sugar (or splenda/stevia)

Steps:

  • 1. Toss pretzel crumbs with melted butter, then press into a 10-inch pie pan. Bake at 350° for apx. 10 mins. Allow to cool
  • 2. Bring 1/3 cup of heavy cream just to a simmer, then remove from heat and add chocolate chips; stir until smooth and set aside.
  • 3. Using the paddle attachement on your mixer, beat peanut butter and cream cheese until combined. Add 1/2 sugar and beat until thoroughly incorporated (no graininess.)
  • 4. Using a clean bowl, whip cream until it just begins to thicken; continue to whip as you slowly add in the 1/3 cup of sugar. Whip until the cream is fluffy... then stop! You want to be careful not to overbeat.
  • 5. Using a gentle touch, slowly fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Repeat with second half of the whipped cream.
  • 6. Add the caramel to your cooled pretzel crust; chill until set (apx 10 minutes). Repeat this step, this time adding the chocolate. Finally, top with the peanut butter mixture and a sprinkling of the reserved chocolate and pretzels.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality peanut butter. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. If you can find a natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils, that's even better.
  • Don't overbeat the peanut butter filling. Overbeating will make the filling dense and dry. Just beat it until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the pie before serving. This will help the filling firm up and make it easier to slice.
  • For a more decadent pie, use chocolate peanut butter cups in the filling.
  • For a fun twist, try using crushed pretzels instead of graham crackers for the crust.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular pie plate. Just trim the excess crust around the edges.
  • This pie can be made ahead of time. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
