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 selfmade whipped cream can change Cool Whip in almost any recipe? I don’t add sugar to it when utilizing it in right now’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 not less than 6 hours, and as much as 48 hours. I normally 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.
In case you want a celebratory cake or birthday cake, do that peanut butter ice cream pie. It’s worlds simpler than an precise cake, may be made forward with out sacrificing texture, and is cherished simply as a lot (if no more!).

And should you’re on the lookout for one thing just a little bigger, I even have this 5-layer ice cream cake recipe. It takes just a little extra time to place collectively as a result of there are a couple of layers, however the outcomes are at all times high notch.

- Can I Use a Graham Cracker Crust? Sure. Be happy to exchange the Oreo cookie crust with this graham cracker crust. No must bake it.
- Ice Cream: Any model of peanut butter ice cream is okay. I normally use Reese’s model, which has peanut butter cups inside. You too can 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 happy to swap the peanut butter ice cream for an additional taste reminiscent of chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, cookie dough, and many others. You possibly can skip the melted peanut butter, or change with warmed Nutella and even chocolate ganache (whereas it’s nonetheless heat!). Be happy to skip the crushed Reese’s Items, or change with chocolate chips, crushed M&Ms, or different favourite ice cream topping. I discover M&Ms bleed there colour a bit into the ice cream, so hold that in thoughts.
