Chocolate-Covered Key Lime Pie

By MJH

Ingredients

• 1 recipe Key Lime Pie with Pretzel Crust
• 8 popsicle sticks
• 4 cups chocolate morsels (semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate)
• Almond bark

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare Key Lime Pie with Pretzel Crust and let set in refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.

Slice pie into 8 equal portions. Pretzel crust may be a little crumbly and some may come off, but that's ok.

Place slices onto a sheet lined with parchment paper and gently push in a popsicle stick about halfway.

Leave some space on the sheet in between slices.

Freeze for about 6 hours.

For covering each slice with chocolate, it's best to work in batches of two slices at a time.

Microwave 1 cup of morsels for 30 seconds on high. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds.

Microwave in 15-second intervals if the morsels aren't completely melted.

Using a small offset spatula, spread the melted morsels all around the pie slice, holding the stick for support.

When the entire slice is covered, place it back on the sheet with parchment paper and return to the freezer.

Continue with the remaining slices.

Place one square of almond bark in a plastic sandwich bag.

Microwave in 30-second intervals, kneading the bag in between until the almond bark is smooth.

Snip the corner of the bag with scissors and pipe onto chocolate-covered pie slices.

Return to the freezer until ready to serve.
