2-Ingredient Pretzel Crust

In order to balance out the pie/crust flavors, I usually opt for a sweet or fruity filling and make the plain unsweetened version of the pretzel crust to allow the flavors to remain slightly savory. If you’re making a pie that is less sweet and more “dark” or savory in flavor (like a dark chocolate cheesecake) you might want to add just a touch of sweetener to the crust!

Note: pretzels vary depending on the brand, so if you’re using a different brand of pretzels you may need to add a little more of the ground up pretzels so that the crust won’t be too oily! Some pretzel recipes use more flour, or more leavening and binding agents than others, so the results will vary.

I usually buy the “LiveGFree” brand of pretzels from Aldi and I absolutely love the flavor of these pretzels! My husband actually prefers these pretzels over “normal” ones because the flavor is so buttery and the texture is light and crisp!

I hope you enjoy this super simple recipe “upgrade” and let me know if you give it a try with any of your favorite graham-cracker crust recipes!  If you’d like more easy dessert ideas, make sure you check out some of my favs like this dark chocolate cake and fudge frosting!!

😀 Bon Appetit!
