Indulge in the creamy, dreamy decadence of Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie—a no-bake dessert that’s as effortless as it is irresistible! This frozen treat begins with a buttery chocolate cookie crust that provides the perfect crunchy contrast to its luscious peanut butter ice cream filling. Made with just a handful of pantry staples like creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened vanilla ice cream, this pie comes together in minutes but impresses like a gourmet masterpiece. Topped with a rich, velvety chocolate ganache and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for added crunch, it’s a sweet-and-salty delight perfect for summer gatherings or anytime you crave a cool dessert. Best of all, it requires no baking, making it an easy yet show-stopping addition to your dessert rotation.
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed into crumbs.
In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter, mixing until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the softened vanilla ice cream to the peanut butter mixture and fold together until fully combined. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
To make the chocolate topping, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the frozen pie and sprinkle with chopped peanuts, if desired, for garnish.
Allow the pie to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
