Ingredients
- CRUST:
- 1 1/4 cups salted pretzels
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- FILLING:
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM:
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate

Preparation
Step 1
For the crust: Pulse the pretzels in a food processor until finely ground. In a large bowl, combine the pretzel crumbs, butter and brown sugar. Mix with your hands. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Cover and refrigerate.
For the filling: Combine the cream cheese, peanut butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream. Spoon the filling into the pie shell, cover and return to the refrigerator.
For the chocolate whipped cream: Put the chocolate and whipping cream in the top of a double boiler over medium heat. Whisk until melted. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Once cooled, beat the chocolate cream with a mixer until thick and spreadable (do not overmix).
Cover the pie with the chocolate whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings if using. Serve the pie right away or refrigerate for
