Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cornflakes cereal
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 0.25 cup Chocolate syrup
- 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the granulated sugar and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the cornflakes cereal. Gradually pour the peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes and gently fold to coat every piece evenly.
Press the coated cornflake mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Ensure the crust is compact and evenly distributed. Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
While the crust is chilling, let the vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to spread.
Spoon the softened vanilla ice cream into the chilled cornflake crust, spreading it evenly to fill the pie shell. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the surface of the ice cream pie in any pattern you like. Optionally, sprinkle crushed peanuts on top for added crunch and flavor.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
