Prep Time 4 hours 30 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 prepared graham cracker, Oreo or vanilla wafer crust (see notes)
  • 2-3 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 8 ounce Cool Whip
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup Reese cups, chopped (optional)
  • chocolate sauce, to drizzle

Instructions
 

  • Stir ice cream, peanut butter and Cool Whip until well combined. Add in chopped Reese cups, if using.
  • Pour into prepared crust. Freeze for at least four hours. Drizzle with chocolate sauce, and additional chopped Reese's to serve.

Notes

  • To make crust, crush 1 1/2-2 cups cookies/crackers or pulse in a food processor until small crumbs are formed.  Add crumbs to 5 tbsp of melted butter and mix.  Press into bottom of pie plate and bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.  Cool completely before filling.
  • I usually use vanilla ice cream, because I like to control how nutty the flavor is, but a peanut butter, or chocolate/peanut butter, ice cream would also work.
