Frozen Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 graham cracker crust
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened (Haagen-Daaz is recommended)
  • 1 cup Cool Whip, defrosted
  • 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter (or more, to taste)
  • Hot fudge sauce

Instructions

Once ice cream is soft enough to mix, but not totally melted, mix ice cream, Cool Whip and peanut butter in a large bowl until fully combined. Pour filling into graham cracker crust, then place in freezer for several hours.

When ready to serve, remove from freezer for 5-10 minutes to soften before slicing. Top with heated fudge sauce.

Secrets of Success

This is a pie that Laura Galvin (nee Durity) made in college for all our celebrations and it’s amazing.

Look for a large, deep-dish graham cracker crust at the store. If you can only find small ones, buy two – there will be too much filling for a single one.

I go heavy on the peanut butter in the filling. And to borrow inspiration from my beloved Grasshopper Pie, sometimes I spread some fudge sauce around the inside of the pie shell before pouring in the filling.

“Stressed” spelled backwards is “desserts.” Coincidence? I think not!
