...peanut butter ice cream pie

One of my favourite flavours is peanut butter. I like peanut butter anything. If I go to a restaurant and a dessert has peanut butter in the description I will order it. My bff's and I like to eat at a restaurant downtown in London, ON that has peanut butter ice cream pie as one of the desserts. It's amazing. We get it every single time we go. For my birthday this year, they made me a peanut butter ice cream pie from scratch! Best birthday cake ever (and it was obviously better than the one we always get!). If you like peanut butter, I suggest you try this pie. I would never give away their secret recipe, but this one looks like it would be pretty good...

Ingredients

9 graham crackers, crushed
3/4 cup salted peanuts, finely chopped
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a small bowl, mix together crushed graham crackers, 3/4 cup finely chopped peanuts, and sugar. Stir in melted butter or margarine. Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate.
Bake crust in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Chill.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix ice cream and peanut butter together on medium-low speed until combined. Pour mixture into chilled crust. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped peanuts. Freeze for at least 6 hours. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving.
