Ingredients
Ritz crust
- 1 ½ cups crushed Ritz crackers
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
Pie filling
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly
- 6 ½ tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup peanut Nutella
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly incorporated. Pour mixture into a 9-inch round pie dish. Press evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the dish using a glass.
- Bake in the oven until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
- Beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk powder, and salt with a paddle attachment at low speed.
- Add the melted butter and mix until all ingredients are wet. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Keep the speed set to low as you add in the egg yolks and peanut Nutella. Mix this until the mixture is glossy, about 3 minutes.
- Evenly fill the crust with the filling, then bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and bake for 15 more minutes. The pie should be fairly brown on top. It may still be a little jiggly. If it is very jiggly, give it 5 more minutes.
- Remove the pie from the oven and place the pie pan on a cooling rack and allow it to cool for 30 minutes. Then wrap it with tin foil and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Move the pie from the freezer to the fridge 1 hour before you are planning to serve it.
- Dust it with powdered sugar before serving.
