The tasty crust is made out of pretzels, then filled with creamy and sweet goodness, and topped with Reese’s pieces.

Ingredients:

Crust

• 5 cups crushed pretzels or graham crackers
• 2 tbsp sugar
• ¾ cup chocolate sprinkles
• 1-1½ cups or 2-3 sticks melted butter

Filling

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup confectionary sugar
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Step 1

Put the pretzels or graham crackers in a good processor or Ziploc bag, then crush them well, and add about 5 cups of crushed pretzels or graham crackers to a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate sprinkles and sugar, then mix them together before adding half a cup of butter, and then continue mixing until it sticks together, add more butter if needed. Pour the mixture into a 10-inch springform cake pan, then press them at the bottom and all the way up to the sides, and put it in a preheated oven at 350°F to bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the crust slightly darkens. Let the crust cool completely while preparing the filling.

Step 2

Beat the heavy cream in a mixing bowl for about 10 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks form and set it aside. In a separate mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and peanut butter, then beat them together until well combined before slowly adding the powdered sugar, and continue mixing to incorporate. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until well combined, and then incorporate the whipped cream. Once the crust has cooled down completely, pour the prepared filling over the crust, then top it with Reese’s pieces, and make sure to keep it in the springform pan. Put it in the freezer and leave it for about 3 to 4 hours until set, then unmold, slice, serve, and enjoy!
