I have to tell you, the pictures don’t do this dessert justice. Whoever has tips for taking pictures of ice cream please send them my way!
So lately I haven’t been showing enough love to my two favorite food groups: peanut butter and ice cream
What, those aren’t food groups? Could have fooled me!
Does peanut butter combined with chocolate make up a food group?
Protein, healthy fats, antioxidants? Am I close?
Oh well, because you know what, when it comes to dessert you just have to enjoy what you love. Personally, I’m good at that…
…just need to work on eating one slice, one scoop or one cookie and being satisfied. I’ll get there one day.
But in the meantime, send over some self-restraint so that I don’t eat this entire Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie in one sitting
To make the crust, grind up about 8 Nutter Butters in a food processor until fine
Add melted butter and stir to combine
Press crust mixture into a prepared 9-inch springform pan
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crust darkens around the edges and allow crust to cool
When ready, layer half of chocolate ice cream over crust
Next cover the entire layer with large peanut butter cups
Then, cover peanut butter cup layer completely with chocolate ice cream (shh I ran out of peanut butter cups); Freeze until ready to serve

If you could create a new food group, what would it be?
The Nutter Butter crust is the best idea ever.
I’m totally on board with your new food group. That pie looks AMAZING!!
I would totally have to create the “Guacamole and Chips” food group. Complete with bonus vitamins when paired with jalapenos and salsa.
Followed by this pb and chocolate food group. Of course.
Guac and chips, that is a good one!
Those are definitely food groups! And I actually like the pics – makes me imagine how melty and sweet this is :)
Peanut Butter Cup ice cream is my favorite. It can’t get any better than this! Delicious.
My mouth is watering over this!
We are on the same dessert wavelength! But yours has cookis in it and therefore better. :)
I think what we need is this crust and your ice cream!!
You totally get me. I am constantly craving peanut butter and chocolate, and this looks to die for! :-)
I have really been trying hard NOT to bookmark any more Peanut Butter desserts. I can’t eat them and I’m never going to live long enough to make them all…except this one. It just made it to the top of the the list. Nutter Butter’s? genius.
That makes me happy! Let me know if you try it!
Is this a joke?! This is toooooo yummy sounding! Why oh why don’t I have a slice???! :) Great recipe!
Oh goodness. This looks insanely delicious. I LOVE peanut butter and chocolate together. If I could create a new food group, it would be called “bacon makes everything better”.
Haha, love it!
Are you serious??? This is such a wholesome meal, isn’t it??? Almost like having a peanut butter lunch with dessert all in one!!! Count me in! I think this looks awesome!!!!
Now if only I could bring it to the shore!
oh my goodness – this looks so good!
Divine dessert!
Hmm well. I mean. I eat peanut butter like it’s a food group…so I vote YES. Plus, I could totally see myself eating this for dinner. And breakfast. And lunch.
Nutter Butter crust = genius! Actually this entire dish is genius. I can’t wait to try it!
You’re killing me, Lauren! This dessert looks amazing!
You’re killin me! I’d have no self restraint when I comes to this pie either. It’s gorgeous!! I love how simple it is too. Great job!
I think I’ve said this a bazillion times but I adoooore the peanut butter and chocolate combo. You’re pie is going to be in my dreams tonight! Have a great long weekend Lauren!
Sounds like a good dream night! You too:-)
um wow. i am the ultimate chocolate and peanut butter addict. and with ice cream? sign me up!
Looks sooo yummy!
Ice cream is so hard to photograph, huh? The photos of ice cream on my site make me lose sleep they’re so awful. We should start a support group.
Good idea! I was making such a mess trying to get it all done.
I can’t even speak that it how excited this recipe makes me! OMG
This looks insanely good, like most other recipes.
This looks too ridiculously good! wow
look at you! wonderful! you did an awesome job! any left? lol
SOMEHOW I managed to eat 1 slice last night (major achievement lol)… if I were home this weekend there is zero chance it would last
I do believe I am in love.
I’m so making this for my fiance’s dad for father’s day! Amazing once again!
You are going to be such a good daughter-in-law!
Wow this looks amazing! Love anything with peanut butter cups. Yum!
Holy moly those look sooooo good! I haven’t seen a nutter butter in forever, thanks for the reminder!
Oh my deliciousnessssss! That is awesome!
Holy batman!! my thighs would love this..a middle layer of pb cups and one of my fav cookies..great idea!!
sweetlife
oh my gosh! this looks waaaay too good!
thanks:-) by the way, i was having trouble commenting on your blog!
Now that is peanut butter heaven. My family would go crazy for this.
lauren this looks amazing!
i love nutter butter cookies to the point that i came up w/ a recipe for what i called nutter butter bars. it’s on my site, but basically N.B. cookies + more peanut butter and sugar and I topped it all w/ chocolate frosting. So rich and pretty much anything PB is my bff.
I make my own PB cups, I have a whole PB recipe section, yeah, you and i will get along great with this recipe of yours!! :)
Ok, I need to find your recipes immediately!
I’ve never had a nutter butter before…darn Canada…but i’m set on picking some up the next time i come over the border (which is very often!!! as my bank account shows) JUST so i can make this!!! YUM!
I think this was actually my first time having a Nutter Butter, isn’t that weird?!
Your PB ice cream pie looks amazing….my kids would love it!
Perfect timing, I have a springform pan to break in too!
My new food group would definitely involve chocolate and ice cream. I’m sure I could group together a few more things with those too.
What doesn’t travel to the shore, gets MADE at the shore. Some things simply cannot be left out!!!
next time 100%!!!!
Babe, you can count on that!!
DESSERTS should definitely have it’s own food group. What can I say? I’m a sucker for the sweets!
I seriously would choose Nutter Butters as the only cookie for the rest of my life. There are so many right things about this cake!!!
This looks just wonderful! I have a hard time taking photos of ice cream cakes too, but I never have a hard time eating them.
Yum! Peanut butter is my favorite flavor of anything…pie, cake, ice cream…it’s all good :)
If you knew how shocked I was after I steped on the scale this morning you would not be posting these delicious recpies…I have no self control so I stalk this blog often
I’m obsessed with all things peanut butter cups…I made peanut butter cupcakes the other day and after seeing this amazing post….I should have waited. What an amazing recipe. YUM
Ice cream pie sounds so good right about now. It’s gonna be a hot one today!
Peanut butter and chocolate should be their own food group, especially since there are things like this pie in existence!
I’ll be making these for my dad this father’s day!
I’m wanting to crawl inside that pie. Looks amaaaaazing, L!!
LOOKS DELISH!!
I think a chocolate/PB food group sounds perfect. Now if only I could use portion control and not eat the entire thing:)
Oh my gosh!! This pie looks incredible! A nutter butter crust!? Oh yeah! ;)
