Instructions

Prepare the Ice Cream Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crunchy peanut butter, whipped topping, and softened vanilla ice cream. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix these ingredients together until they are fully combined and smooth. -
Assemble the Pie:
Take your graham cracker crumb crust and carefully pour the peanut butter and ice cream mixture into it. Spread the filling evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure it’s perfectly even. -
Freeze the Pie:
Place the assembled pie in the freezer and let it chill for at least 2 hours to set properly. For best results, freeze it overnight. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the pie has fully set and frozen, slice into it, and serve immediately. You can garnish with additional peanut butter, whipped topping, or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra flair!
Notes
- Crust Options: This pie works well with a traditional graham cracker crust, but feel free to swap it out for a chocolate crust if you want to add a richer flavor contrast.
- Customization: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy, though the crunch adds a nice texture contrast to the pie.
- Serving Suggestions: This peanut butter ice cream pie is perfect for summer gatherings or as a fun family treat. You can even serve it as an indulgent dessert for holidays and special occasions.
Love With Recipes Tip:
For a more decadent version, drizzle warm chocolate or caramel sauce over the top before serving. Add chopped peanuts or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor. Whether you’re serving it for a family movie night or at a party, this pie is sure to become a favorite!
