  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • For the crust:
  • 5 ounces salted pretzels, finely crushed in a blender or food processor
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 10 tablespoons butter, melted
  • For the filling:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • Additional whipped cream, orange slices, and mini pretzels (for garnishing), if desired

 Directions

For the crust:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix together pretzel crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.
For the filling:
Pour heavy cream into a large bowl along with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and vanilla. Use an electric mixer to beat the cream until stiff peaks form. Scrape whipped cream into a separate bowl and set aside.
Without cleaning mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Blend in orange juice concentrate and beat until well incorporated. Gently fold 1/4 of whipped cream into orange juice mixture. Repeat with remaining whipped cream, working 1/4 at a time and taking care not to overmix.
Pour filling into cooled pie shell and smooth top. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight. Remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving to allow to soften slightly for slicing. Garnish with fresh whipped cream, orange slices, and/or mini pretzels, if desired.
