Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie

By: Julia Mangan

I haven't actually tasted this but I made it for a co-worker once and it looked delicious!

1 Oreo crust (or crushed Oreo cookies mixed with 1/4 c. melted butter)

2 T. chopped peanuts + 1/4 cup

2 cups chocolate ice cream, softened

4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

Sprinkle 2 T. chopped peanuts on top of Oreo crust. Spread softened chocolate ice cream in bottom of crust. Freeze for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine vanilla ice cream and peanut butter in large bowl and beat until peanut butter is thoroughly blended with ice cream. Spread over chocolate ice cream in crust and top with remaining chopped peanuts. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Graham Cracker Crust
2 c. fine graham cracker crumbs
6 T. melted butter
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Pie filling
6 egg yolks, at room temp.
2 T. grated lime zest (regular limes, which have a nicer flavor!)
1.5 cans sweetened condensed milk
3/4 c. freshly squeezed lime juice, more if needed

Press crust mix into pie plate and bake on 325 for 15 minutes until fragrant. For filling, mix yolks and zest on high until creamy and pale yellow for five minutes. Add condensed milk and juice until smooth. Taste and add more juice if you want a tarter flavor. Fill cooled crust. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes or until just set. Cool on wire racks and then refrigerate. I like to top mine with fresh whipped cream after it's been chilled thoroughly.
