Ingredients

• 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 quarts Vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup Peanut butter
• 1.5 cups Salted peanuts (chopped)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.25 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Step 2

Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Combine the crushed cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set.

Step 4

Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Spread half the softened ice cream evenly over the chilled crust. Place the pie dish in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds until slightly runny. Drizzle half the warmed peanut butter over the ice cream layer, then sprinkle 3/4 cup of the chopped peanuts on top.

Step 6

Spread the remaining half of the ice cream over the peanuts and peanut butter. Return the pie to the freezer for another 20 minutes.

Step 7

To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil). Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Step 8

Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract to the chocolate ganache, mixing until well combined.

Step 9

Pour the ganache evenly over the top of the ice cream layer and spread with a spatula if needed. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of chopped peanuts over the ganache.

Step 10

Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely firm.

Step 11

Before serving, allow the pie to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften for easier slicing. Serve and enjoy!
