Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter Pretzel Pie – YUM

Who loves peanut butter and pretzels together? (Raises hand) The sweet and salty combination is killer! A few pretzels dipped in some peanut butter makes an awesome snack. Even those peanut butter filled pretzel bites hit the spot.  

Want to take that peanut butter and pretzel combo to a whole new level? Think dessert and make a pie out of it!

Preparation

This pie doesn’t involve a whole lot of hands on time. It does involve a bit of planning though.  

The peanut butter filling of this pie does not get baked but it does require an overnight stay in the fridge to set up. I’ve already served this pie without enough cooling time in the fridge and it’s just not as impressive.  

So plan ahead.

The crust is as simple as throwing a graham cracker crust together. Either smash the pretzels in a ziploc with a rolling pin for a more coarse crumb to the crust. Or use a food processor for a finer crumbed crust. Mix the crumbs with some sugar and melted butter, press into a pie pan and bake for a few minutes.

As for the pie filling, you’re pretty much just mixing everything together with exception of the heavy whipping cream. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the peanut butter mixture. Spoon mixture into pie crust and refrigerate at least 8 hours.

Now comes the hardest part – waiting.

To Serve

Slice & serve this pie immediately after removing from fridge.

It’s delicious served plain. Or sprinkle some crushed pretzels, peanut butter cups or chocolate shavings on top of each slice. Chocolate syrup is nice too.

This Peanut Butter Pretzel Pie is a must try. Creamy, delicious & unique – yet doesn’t involve a whole lot of work.

Hope you enjoy!

    How could I add a chocolate layer in between the crust and the pb? Gotta do it!

      Yes, yes, yes! Fabulous idea!
      A layer of ganache in the middle would be perfect ♥
