Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie
This pie starts with a thick, buttery chocolate Oreo crust. Then comes the filling - a cloud of peanut butter ice cream mixed with whipped cream. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, there are ribbons of melted peanut butter swirled throughout

Ingredients
Oreo Cookie Crust:
- 22 Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter
Filling:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or cold heavy cream
- 1 qt softened peanut butter ice cream
- ¼ cup melted creamy peanut butter (+ extra for garnish, optional)
- ⅓ cup crushed Reese’s Pieces, crushed (+ extra for garnish, optional)
Optional for Topping:
- A splash of whipped cream
Instructions
The Crust Recipe
- Blend 22 Oreos (filling and all) in a chopper until you have roughly 2 cups of packed crumb. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and stir in some melted butter.
- Pour them into a 9'' springform pan. Press the mixture firmly up all sides and along the bottom of the pan.
The Filling
- Set the mixer to medium-high and whip up your heavy cream (3-4 minutes) until stiff peaks.
- Fold in the softened ice cream until it blends with the whipped cream into a creamy mixture.
- Spread half the filling - half the peanut butter - half the filling - half the peanut butter onto the delicious crust. Optional: sprinkle on some crushed Reese's Pieces.
Freezing and Serving
- Cover the whole pie and freeze for 6 hours to 2 days.
- Take the pie out and let it rest at room temperature (about 5 minutes). Optional: add another drizzle of peanut butter, more Reese's Pieces, or extra whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Freeze your bowl and whisk for 10-15 minutes to keep the cream cold and help it whip up light and fluffy, even in a warm kitchen.
- Use creamy peanut butter (not crunchy) peanut butter if you want beautiful and even swirls. Microwave it in 10 to 15 seconds if it's too thick.
- Don't go for cheap ice cream. Higher-quality peanut butter ice creams are denser and creamier, holding up better without melting too quickly.
- Want to add extra crunch and boost the chocolate flavor? Sprinkle crushed Oreos between filling layers!
- You may cut the pie before freezing to make serving easier; no more struggling with a solid frozen block.
