Peanut butter and chocolate reign supreme as the best flavor duo thanks to this incredible cookie-crusted ice cream pie.
Ingredients
Chocolate Cookie Crumb Crust
- 1 1/2cups finely crushed thin chocolate wafer cookies (24 cookies)
- 1/4cup butter, melted
Filling
- 2pints (4 cups) peanut butter ice cream
- 1pint (2 cups) chocolate or vanilla ice cream
- 1/2cup salted cocktail peanuts
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Sauce
- 1cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
- 1/4cup creamy peanut butter
- Dash salt
- 1/4cup whipping cream
- 1tablespoon light corn syrup
Garnish
- 1cup chocolate-covered peanuts, coarsely chopped
Steps
1 Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, stir all crust ingredients until well mixed. Press mixture firmly and evenly against bottom and side of 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake 10 minutes. Cool on cooling rack 15 minutes. Freeze 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place both ice creams in refrigerator to soften, about 20 to 30 minutes.
2 In medium bowl, stir together chocolate chips, peanut butter and salt. In 1-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream and corn syrup over low heat until hot but not boiling. Pour over peanut butter mixture; cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand 1 minute; stir until smooth.
3 Spread 1/3 cup of the chocolate-peanut butter sauce in bottom of chilled crust. Sprinkle with cocktail peanuts. Spoon 3 cups of the peanut butter ice cream over top; spread evenly. Quickly and carefully spread 1/2 cup chocolate-peanut butter sauce over ice cream (it will start to freeze). With small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, alternate scoops of chocolate ice cream and remaining 1 cup peanut butter ice cream over top, covering pie and achieving bubble look.
4 Sprinkle chocolate-covered peanuts over top. Drizzle with remaining chocolate peanut butter sauce. Freeze 5 hours or until firm. Place pie in refrigerator 30 minutes before cutting to soften slightly.
