Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Vanilla ice cream |
| 1 | Peanut butter |
| 1/2 | Cup peanuts |
| 2 | Tablespoons butter |
| 1/4 | Cup shredded coconut |
| 2 1/2 | Tablespoons Karo syrup |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crust:
- Begin by finely chopping the peanuts, ideally using a food processor for optimal consistency.
- Mix the chopped peanuts with the butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into a pie pan, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Place the pan in the freezer while preparing the filling.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, and Karo syrup. For best results, utilize a Kitchen Aid Mixer or Food Processor to achieve a smooth blend.
- Once the mixture is thoroughly combined, gently fold in the peanuts and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
-
Assemble the Pie:
- Scoop the prepared ice cream mixture into the chilled pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. The mixture will be soft and easy to smooth over the crust’s surface.
-
Freeze and Serve:
- Place the assembled pie back into the freezer and allow it to set until firm.
- For optimal serving consistency, freeze the pie for a few hours before serving. This ensures that it holds its shape beautifully when sliced, offering a delightful contrast between the creamy filling and crunchy crust.
