Peanut Butter Pretzel Pie is a delicious no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy pretzel crust combined with a creamy, sweet peanut butter filling. This easy-to-make pie offers a perfect balance of salty and sweet flavors, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups pretzels, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels with melted butter, mixing until the pretzels are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar, continuing to mix until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until combined, keeping the mixture light and fluffy.
  4. Assemble the pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the pretzel crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, slice and serve. Optionally, garnish with extra crushed pretzels or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if desired.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with suitable plant-based alternatives.
  • This pie is best served chilled and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add a chocolate drizzle or chopped peanuts on top for extra indulgence.
