For the Crust:
⅔cupcrushed pretzels
1cupflour
⅓cupbrown sugar
⅓cupmargarine
approx. 5 tablespoons very cold water
For the Filling:
13.4 oz. box instant pistachio pudding {+ ingredients to make it required on the box}
For the Topping:
¾cupheavy whipping cream
3tablespoonswhite sugar to sweeten the whipped cream
Instructions
To make the crust, first crush your pretzels in a zip lock bag. I set my bag on the floor and banged on it with a meat mallet. Totally works.
In a medium sized bowl, stir together the crushed pretzel, flour and brown sugar. Use a pastry cutter to mix in the margarine (or butter). Add the cold water and use your hands to work it into a dough.
Wash your mason jars, spray them with non-stick cooking spray and the press the pie crust into the jars.
Set the jars on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
After the jars come back out of the oven, make the pistachio pudding according to the directions on the package. Pour the pudding over the Sweet and Salty Pretzel Crust and stick the jars in the fridge.
Whip up the whipped cream until it has nice, soft peaks. Stir the sugar into the whipped cream and then use a spoon to pile it on top of the pudding.
Chill the Pies in a Jar until you are ready to serve them.
