Best Chocolate Pie With Pretzel Crust Recipes

PRETZEL PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Add coconut cream and dark chocolate to mixing bowl and microwave in 30-second increments until melted, stirring occasionally to incorporate. Be careful not to overheat or the chocolate can lose its creamy texture. (Alternatively, melt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Then transfer to a mixing bowl.)
• Use a whisk to gently stir the mixture until it's completely incorporated and smooth (see photo). Set in the refrigerator uncovered to chill for 2-3 hours, or until mostly firm and it holds its shape when tipped sideways.
• In the meantime, preheat oven to 325 degrees F (162 C).
• To a medium mixing bowl, add pretzel meal, sugar, add melted butter. Stir to thoroughly combine - it should be moist and moldable - add more melted butter (1-2 Tbsp // amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) if too dry and crumbly.
• Transfer mixture to a standard 9-inch pie pan (adjust number/size of pan if altering batch size) and use hands to form a uniform crust, working it all the way up the edges of the pan.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until firm to the touch and slightly browned on the edges. Set aside to cool.
• Once the filling is chilled and mostly hardened (again, it shouldn't run when tipped sideways), use a mixer on high to whip and incorporate air for about 1 minute, scraping down sides as needed.
• Add peanut butter and mix once more.
• Sample and add sweetener to taste. If you prefer a more bittersweet chocolate pie, you may not need any. I added 2-3 Tbsp maple syrup and 3-5 Tbsp organic powdered sugar (amounts as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
• Mix until well incorporated, then transfer to the cooled pretzel crust and smooth the top with a spoon.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let chill for another 2-3 hours, or overnight. The longer it chills, the firmer the mousse filling becomes.
• To serve, top with coconut whipped cream, peanut butter, crushed peanuts, and/or crushed pretzels (optional). Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, though best within the first 1-2 days.

• Place the cherries in a large bowl. Whisk the cherry juice and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the cherries and gently fold to combine. Pour into the piecrust.
