Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ½ cup melted butter
For the Filling
- 1 quart peanut butter ice cream, slightly softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups
- 1 cup whipped topping
For the Topping
- ½ cup chocolate syrup or ganache
- ¼ cup caramel sauce
- Extra chopped peanut butter cups
- ¼ cup crushed peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into a pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
In a large bowl, stir softened ice cream with peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
Fold in chopped peanut butter cups and whipped topping gently to keep the mixture light.
Spread the filling evenly into the chilled crust, smoothing the top.
Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the top. Sprinkle extra peanut butter cups and peanuts for texture.
Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until fully set.
Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
Notes
- Slightly soften ice cream for easier mixing but do not melt it
- Freeze the crust first to keep it firm when adding filling
- Use thick chocolate syrup or ganache for better texture
- Avoid overmixing to keep the filling creamy and airy
- Freeze long enough to get clean slices
