Peanut Butter Cup Oreo Ice Cream Pie

By srumbel

I have been making an Oreo Ice Cream Pie for over 25 years. I just mix crushed Oreo’s with Vanilla Ice Cream. I top it with Cool Whip and freeze it in an Oreo Pie Crust. This time, I decided to make my own Oreo Crust. I crushed Oreo’s with the Oreo filling. I mixed the crushed Oreos up with a little butter and baked the crust until it was slightly crunchy. I then mixed the crushed Oreos with the vanilla ice cream, but this time I added 8 ounce bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Minis. They are unwrapped mini peanut butter cups which make them easy to use. I topped the ice cream mixture with Cool Whip and froze this delightful treat. My family acted like it was the best thing they had ever had.

Ingredients

• OREO PIE CRUST:
• 30 Oreo's, chocolate creamed filled, crushed
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• PEANUT BUTTER CUP OREO ICE CREAM PIE FILLING:
• 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, extremely soft
• 20 Oreo's, crushed for the filling (I used a large Family size bag of Oreo's. It has 50 Oreos in it.)
• 8 ounce bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Minis - They are Unwrapped Mini Cups.

Preparation

Step 1

OREO CRUST:
Crush 30 Chocolate Oreos in a large ziplock bag.
In a large microwave safe bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.
Add the crushed Oreo's and mix well with the butter.
Add this Oreo mixture to a DEEP DISH pie plate.
Pat the Oreo's up the side of the pie plate.
Bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Allow this crust to COMPLETELY cool.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP OREO ICE CREAM PIE:
In a large bowl, mix together the softened vanilla ice cream, 20 additional crushed Oreo's, and the peanut butter cups.
Place the bowl back into the freezer. Allow it to firm back up where it is not runny.
If the pie crust is not cool or the ice cream is not firm, it will run over the edges of the pie.
Spoon the ice cream mixture in the deep dish Oreo pie crust.
Freeze until firm.
Top with Cool Whip and place it back into the freezer.
Serve with Chocolate Sauce drizzled on it.
