Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cup chocolate cookie or graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup pretzel crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream separated

Topping

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup pretzels chopped
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter cups

Instructions

Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In medium mixing bowl combine the cookie or graham cracker crumbs, pretzel crumbs, butter, and brown sugar. Toss with a spoon until moist.
  • Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish (I recommend a pie dish with a tall rim).
  • Freeze for 10 minutes, then place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.

Filling

  • Using a stand or handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mix until combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold in half (1 cup) of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Fold the remaining whipped cream in until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into the cooled crust, then spread into an even layer.

Topping

  • Combine the chocolate and cream in a 2 cup glass measuring cup or a medium size microwave-safe bowl, heat at half power for one minute, stir then repeat.
  • Remove and whisk for 1 minute until smooth. Spread over the filling, then top with chunks of peanut butter cups and pretzels.
  • Freeze for at least 2 hours, remove 10 minutes before serving and cut with a sharp knife (rinse under warm water if needed to get a nice clean cut). Serve cold.
