I’ve made this peanut butter ice cream pie on repeat every summer season since I first printed the recipe in 2013. The peanut butter filling combines peanut butter ice cream and unsweetened whipped cream.

Do you know that homemade whipped cream can exchange Cool Whip in practically any recipe? I don’t add sugar to it when utilizing it in at this time’s filling.
It’s simple: you simply want heavy cream. Whip it, after which fold it into softened peanut butter ice cream. The mix of the 2 produce a softer, creamier filling than plain ice cream. Simpler to eat with a fork!

Fold the whipped cream (above) into softened peanut butter ice cream, after which unfold half into the cookie crust.

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 very least 6 hours, and as much as 48 hours. I often make it the night time earlier than I want 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 non-obligatory, however tremendous easy since you want a lot of the objects for the precise recipe, too.

Oreo Cookie Crust
Filling
Directions
- Make the crust: In a food processor or blender/chopper, pulse 22 Oreos (together with the cream filling) right into a fantastic crumb. It is best to have about 2 cups (packed) crumbs, or 250g. Pour crumbs into a big bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to mix. The combination might be thick and fairly moist. Attempt to smash/break up any giant chunks.

With medium stress utilizing your hand, pat the crumbs down into the underside and up the edges to make a compact, thick crust.
- Make the filling: Utilizing a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium-high pace till stiff peaks type, about 3–4 minutes. If you happen to by chance over-whip the cream, and it seems curdled and heavy, pour in just a little 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. It will take a pair minutes because the ice cream is way stiffer than the whipped cream.
- Spoon 1/2 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 finest you may, and drizzle with remaining melted peanut butter. Sprinkle with crushed Reese’s Items. Cowl and freeze for at the very least 6 hours and as much as 48 hours.
- Take away from the freezer and be at liberty to garnish with extra melted peanut butter, crushed Reese’s Items, and whipped cream. I used Wilton 1M piping tip for the whipped cream within the pictured pie.
- Enable frozen pie to take a seat at room temperature for five minutes to melt earlier than slicing and serving. For neat cuts, use your sharpest knife, and dip it in some sizzling water earlier than every reduce.
- Cowl and retailer leftover pie within the freezer for as much as 5 days.
Notes
- Particular Instruments (affiliate hyperlinks): Food Processor or Blender/Chopper | 9-inch Springform Pan | Electrical Mixer (Handheld or Stand Mixer) | Piping Bag (Disposable or Reusable) and Wilton 1M piping tip (for non-obligatory whipped cream topping)
- Can I Use a Graham Cracker Crust? Sure. Be happy 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. It’s also possible to use frozen yogurt, or one other taste. Be sure to examine the dimensions 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 resembling chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, cookie dough, and so on. You’ll be able to skip the melted peanut butter, or exchange with warmed Nutella and even chocolate ganache (whereas it’s nonetheless heat!). Be happy to skip the crushed Reese’s Items, or exchange with chocolate chips, crushed M&Ms, or different favourite ice cream topping. I discover M&Ms bleed there shade a bit into the ice cream, so preserve that in thoughts.
