Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 4 1/2 cups pretzels
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 12 tbsp butter melted

For the filling:

  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Start by making the crust: Add pretzels and sugar to your food processor and pulse. With the motor running, pour the butter in through the top and continue pulsing until the mixture is combined and you can easily pinch it together with your fingers.
  • Grease a 9” pie pan, then transfer the crust to the pan and use your hands to press it down and along the sides. Place the crust in the freezer while you make the filling.
  • Next, whip the heavy cream and sugar together in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Then, add the cottage cheese and peanut butter and whisk for 1 minute.
  • Scoop the filling out into the pie crust and use the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula to smooth it out. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top, gently pressing them down.
  • Place the pie back into the freezer and allow it to set for 4 hours. Remove it from the fridge 10 minutes before you want to serve. Slice and enjoy!
