Chantilly Peanut Pie
Recipe from Recipe Hall of Fame Quick and Easy Cookbook: Winning Recipes from Hometown America
Great make-ahead-and-freeze dessert.
Ingredients
1 quart vanilla ice cream slightly softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup chopped unsalted peanuts, divided
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 (10-inch) chocolate crumb crust
Whipped cream, sweetened
Hot fudge sauce
Directions
Combine ice cream, peanut butter, 1/2 cup peanuts and vanilla in a bowl. Mix well. Pour into prepared crust. Sprinkle with remaining nuts. Freeze. Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and serve hot fudge sauce drizzled over each slice.
Suggestions
Editor's Extra: To softened ice cream, put it on the counter while you gather and measure the rest of the ingredients. Faster, scoop out one quart in a big bowl. Fastest, but riskiest, you can put it in the microwave and soften one quart for one minute on #3 (defrost) power, more if needed.
