I intended to make a regular graham cracker crust but happened to run out of grahams before I got enough, so I threw some pretzels into the food processor to make up the difference. The crust ended up pleasantly salty and complimented the rest of the pie. I did make it in the spring form pan to hold more pie since I had a big crew eating it. Thankfully, this is one rich pie- so one 9 inch spring form covered about 16 people (plus toddlers- we don't usually count them for food but with desserts, they are starting to eat their share!). The end result reminded me a bit of Dorie's Peanut Butter Torte, but I liked it a bit more without the chocolate crust. But honestly... with peanut butter, chocolate, and more, "how bad can that be?!" Don't forget to enter the giveaway here if you haven't yet!

Pretzel Graham Cracker Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup pretzel crumbs
3/4 stick melted butter
3 Tablespoons sugar
Preheat the oven to 375.
Combine all ingredients with a fork and press into butter, 9 inch spring form pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
Peanut Butter Rocky Road Filling:
2 packages of Neufchatel cheese (or cream cheese), softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (sifted if necessary)
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 ounces chopped chocolate (not too fine)
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1 bag Reese's peanut butter cup Christmas bells
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Gently fold in chocolate, walnuts, and marshmallows. Dump into cooled pie crust and smooth.
Using a thin serrated nice, slice the Reese's bells in half and position in a pattern on top of the pie.
Refrigerate until firm (at least 4 hours) and serve. Top with chocolate sauce or caramel (if you can handle it!)
OH my, that looks so decadent and wonderful. I will need a glass of water with my slice, please.
ReplyDeleteI have made my pie, just have to photo and serve, etc. Should be up by the morning.
Cheers!
I totally had a "jingle bell rock" theme going in my head, but I couldn't think of something for the rocks - since nuts are OUT!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am totally going to miss the deadline, unless I have a brainstorm tonight -
Anyways, I love the pie, and I think it looks awesome!

ReplyDelete[You don't know how much i lurrrve rocky road. And pie. And don't even get me started on Greek chocolate.]
I'm obviously not the only person who does, judging by the nicked slice - I'm actually envious of that sneaky individual!
