Let me introduce you to Peanut Buster Parfait Ice Cream Pie! Oh, child!
A chocolate-peanut crust, a layer of fudge sauce, vanilla bean ice cream,
MORE fudge, and topped with salted peanuts. 

I do know I mentioned simply three days in the past, that I might make this web site an
all-brownie weblog. Nicely, how a couple of brownie and ice cream pie weblog?!? 

Begin with the crust. Easy sufficient, you will mix chocolate
wafer cookies, peanuts, and Imperial Sugar in a meals processor till nice crumbs kind.
Stir all of it along with melted butter. 

Press right into a pie tin (I used a
disposable pie tin) and bake for a couple of minutes. Do not you’re keen on a
crumb crust?

Make the fudge sauce. This tremendous simple sauce appears skinny initially however will set
up upon sitting and chilling. Pour some sauce into the crust and freeze. 

Let the ice cream sit out till softened. 

[NOTE: “Pints” of ice cream aren’t quite pints anymore. Don’t panic. A total
of 3-4 cups of ice cream will work for this pie.]

Spoon it into a big bowl and stir till easy and creamy. Easy into the
frozen pie crust. It will set proper again up within the freezer. 

As soon as the ice cream has frozen and set, pour the chilled fudge sauce on high.
You will have to work shortly right here…the sauce will begin to freeze because it
touches the ice cream. In different phrases, do not plan on spreading the sauce so
a lot as pouring it over. 

Lastly, sprinkle with chopped and complete peanuts across the fringe of the
pie. 

Pop it again into the freezer till able to serve. 

Questions for Making Peanut Buster Parfait Pie 

What if I haven’t got a meals processor for the crust?

No drawback! Place the cookies in a ziptop bag (double bagging might be
finest), and crush with a rolling pin. Finely chop peanuts with a knife. 

Does it matter if I take advantage of a 9 or 10-inch pie tin?

In no way! A pie made in a
9-inch pan
could have a barely thicker crust and be “taller.” Each will style nice and
use the identical ingredient quantities.
