The Filling Is Semi-Selfmade
I’ve made this peanut butter ice cream pie on repeat every summer season since I first revealed the recipe in 2013. The peanut butter filling combines peanut butter ice cream and unsweetened whipped cream. I used to make use of frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip) within the filling, however everybody loves it extra after I use unsweetened whipped cream.
Do you know that home made whipped cream can exchange Cool Whip in almost any recipe? I don’t add sugar to it when utilizing it in right this moment’s filling.

Place Reese’s Items in a zipped-top bag, seize a rolling pin, and bang away! That is how I crush sweet canes for peppermint bark, too. Nice stress reliever!
Freeze the ready peanut butter ice cream pie for at the least 6 hours, and as much as 48 hours. I often make it the evening earlier than I would like it.
Earlier than serving, garnish the frozen peanut butter ice cream pie with sweetened whipped cream, extra melted peanut butter, and an additional sprinkle of crushed Reese’s Items. These ending touches are elective, however tremendous easy since you want a lot of the objects for the precise recipe, too.

Oreo Cookie Crust
Filling

Pour crumbs into a big bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to mix. The combination can be thick and fairly moist. Attempt to smash/break up any giant chunks.

When you unintentionally over-whip the cream, and it appears to be like curdled and heavy, pour in somewhat bit extra chilly heavy cream, and fold it in gently by hand with a spatula till it smooths out.
- Fold softened ice cream into the whipped cream. This may take a pair minutes, because the ice cream is far stiffer than the whipped cream.
- Spoon half of the filling into the ready crust. Drizzle half of the melted peanut butter over the filling. Unfold the remainder of the filling on high as greatest you'll be able to, and drizzle with remaining melted peanut butter. Sprinkle with crushed Reese’s Items. Cowl and freeze for at the least 6 hours and as much as 48 hours.

- Can I Use a Graham Cracker Crust? Sure. Be at liberty to switch the Oreo cookie crust with this graham cracker crust. No have to bake it.
- Ice Cream: Any model of peanut butter ice cream is ok. I often use Reese’s model, which has peanut butter cups inside. You can even use frozen yogurt, or one other taste. Be sure to examine the scale of the ice cream carton. Most cartons are 1.5 quarts. You solely want 1 quart for this recipe.
- What Can I Use As an alternative of Peanut Butter? Be at liberty to swap the peanut butter ice cream for one more taste resembling chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, cookie dough, and so on. You possibly can skip the melted peanut butter, or exchange with warmed Nutella and even chocolate ganache (whereas it’s nonetheless heat!). Be at liberty to skip the crushed Reese’s Items, or exchange with chocolate chips, crushed M&Ms or Oreos, or one other favourite ice cream topping. I discover M&Ms bleed their colour a bit into the ice cream, so hold that in thoughts.
