Chocolate Ice Cream Bites With Pretzel Crust Recipes

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM BITES WITH PRETZEL CRUST.

Steps:

• This is so easy! Just crush your pretzels into crumbs (I used the bottom of a heavy glass). Melt your butter/buttery spread in a bowl in the microwave and stir in the pretzel crumbs, sugar and salt.
• Line a mini-muffin tin with paper liners and put some of the crust mixture in each liner. Smush it down with the back of a spoon.
• Put a tablespoon of chocolate ice cream in each cup and take a spatula and smooth out the top.
• Press a pretzel or a few chocolate chips into each ice cream bite. Cover the muffin tin with wax paper and freeze until firm, about an hour or so.

CHOCOLATE PIE WITH PRETZEL CRUST

Steps:

• Mix the crust ingredients together.
• Press half of the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.
• Bake at 350°F for 8 minutes.
• For the filling, combine the sugar, cornstarch, milk and cornstarch in the top of a double boiler.
• Cook over boiling water until the mixture has thickened, stirring constantly.
• Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
• Stir a bit of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks in order to temper (raise the temperature of) the eggs and keep them from scrambling.
• Add the tempered yolks to the chocolate mixture, stirring constantly and thoroughly.
• Cool the mixture.
• Add the vanilla extract to the chocolate and mix thoroughly.
• Pour the chocolate filling into the pretzel crust.
• Top with the remaining pretzel mixture.
• Chill before serving.
