Pretzel Pie Crust
Sweet, salty, and malty, this easy pretzel pie crust is a three-ingredient crumb crust that comes together in minutes. It's a great no-bake crust option that pairs beautifully with frozen margarita pie, key lime pie, no-bake peanut butter pie, and more.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Pretzels, crushed (~200g)
- 3 tbsp Granulated Sugar (38g)
- ¼ cup Unsalted Butter, melted (2oz)
Instructions
- Grind the pretzels into fine crumbs using a food processor.
- Measure out 1½ cups of crumbs and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add ¼ cup melted unsalted butter and ¼ cup granulated sugar to the crumbs.
- Mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly coated and the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Start in the center and work outward. A flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass helps pack the crumbs tightly.
- For no-bake fillings, chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or pre-bake at 350°F (175℃) for 5–7 minutes if you prefer a crispier crust. For baked pies, fill the crust and bake according to your recipe, no pre-baking required.
