Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie Recipe

Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie. The name itself makes us salivate. It seems easy enough to make, and we bet it’s udderly delicious, especially if you used our Udderly Vanilla ice cream. Try this and let us know how it is, please! Follow this link for more information. 

As simple as the ingredients are it can get a little tricky when it comes to the melted ice cream so you will want to make sure that you have set aside some uninterrupted time to make this. My phone would not stop ringing while I was making this last week and I just couldn't stop to answer it. Time was of the essence : ) 

The great thing about this dessert is that it covers all the bases. It has chocolate, peanut butter, ice cream and some crunch from the cashews too. Hopefully you won't feel the need to wait till summer to try it out. 

Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie

• 1 graham cracker crust

• 1/2 cup. creamy peanut butter

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1 qt. vanilla ice cream softened

• 1/2 cup cashews, chopped

• 6 oz. fudge topping

1) Mix together the honey and peanut butter until completely smooth.
2) Stir mixture into softened ice cream. Make sure that the ice cream is soft enough to allow you to mix in the peanut butter/honey really well to incorporate it into every bite.
3) Spoon half of the ice cream mixture into the pie crust. Be careful not to smooth it out to roughly because the pie crust will break.

4) Sprinkle with half of the chopped cashews.  

5) Spoon half of the chocolate fudge on top of the cashews. 

6) Spoon the remainder of the ice cream mixture on top and sprinkle with the rest of the cashews. 

7) Drizzle remaining fudge on top. You may have to warm the fudge up a little to make it easier to drizzle. Work quickly though because as the ice cream melts it can start to over flow the pie crust. An extra-large pie crust will help with the overflow problem. 

8) Freeze for at least 12 hours before serving or overnight if possible. 

Ice Cream Sandwiches!

We love ice cream.

We love sandwiches.

So, of course, we love ice cream sandwiches!

We also love how creative people can be with these treats. Whether they're different shapes, different flavors, covered in sprinkles or just a cookie covering with simple ice cream inside, they all stay true to the spirit of the ice cream sandwich. Check out some examples of awesome varieties below.

What are ice cream makers?

We’ve posted a number of blogs and recipes that require an ice cream maker. But how many of us have access to one? Do you know their types, what they look like, or what they do? Check out these pictures below to know what to look for.

An ice cream maker aerates the cream by churning it, all while freezing it. Manual machines are inexpensive but messy. They consist of an outer bowl and a smaller inner bowl with a hand crank. This crank turns a paddle to stir the mixture. The outer bowl is filled with salt and ice that must later be tossed out. Each new batch of ice cream requires a new batch of the ice and salt.

Electric machines have an electric motor that drives either the bowl or the paddle. Counter-top machines cost around $100. They use a double-walled bowl, between which is a cooling solution. The mixture gradually freezes while it churns because of its contact with this inner frozen bowl. By the time the ice cream is done, the frozen solution has thawed. In order to make a new batch, the solution must be frozen again. Another type of machine is a small freezer-unit one that sits in a freezer and operates similar to a food processor, but very slowly The paddles turn every few seconds to stir the cream and prevent large ice crystals from forming. When the ice cream is done, the paddles lift. Much larger machines have a built-in freezing mechanism and don't require a pre-chilled bowl. They work by turning on the cooling system, adding the mixture a few minutes later, and then turning on the paddle. Ice cream will be ready in about a half hour and any number of batches can be made without delay. 

Ice Cream Crafts

Some people love ice cream so much that they incorporate it into their everyday lives. We’re not talking about having one our pints in their freezer every week. Instead, these people make arts and crafts about ice cream! It takes dedication to make these things, and we’re really impressed by what people have accomplished. Check out some examples below!

Ice cream and sparklers

The combination of ice cream and sparklers seems like a bit of an oxymoron. Wouldn't the sparklers melt the ice cream? Nope! If you're looking to spruce up a birthday cake or any other celebration, try this idea.
