PB Snickers Cookie Ice Cream Pie

At the beginning of our blogging adventure, Kerry/Mom posted how delicious Ice Cream Pie is and how great it is for any type of celebration! My husband finished his first set of medical national boards (Aka USMLE Step 1) and I planned a surprise party with family and friends to celebrate this big accomplishment! And, I decided what better way to celebrate than with an Ice Cream Pie- A Peanut Butter Snickers Cookie Ice Cream Pie! Mmmm 🙂

           
        What You Need for This Pie:

Large Springform Pan

Package of Oreo Cookies – Regular, Not Double Stuf

Ice Cream: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Cookies & Cream

Bag of Mini Snickers

Peanut Butter (Any kind will do, but I used Kirkland Natural PB)

1 Small Ziploc Bag (May need more if not using food processor)

Food Processor (optional)

The How To:

1. Take the ice cream out so that it is slightly melted once ready to be added to the pie. Use a food processor to crush about 20 Oreos. If you do not have a food processor, put 20 Oreos into a large ziploc bag and crush by hand into as small of pieces as possible. Dump the pieces into the springform pan and flatten the layer to create the crust. You can take a plastic or not sharp knife to the sides of the bag to scrape off what gets stuck and add to the bottom layer.

 

 

2. Use a flat ice cream scoop or 2 spoons to make horizontal slices in the ice cream. Start with Chocolate and place the slices on top of the Oreos. Do this until the Oreos are covered. Smooth the Chocolate layer out to create a flat layer. 

3. Put 1/3 of a cup of peanut butter into a ziplock bag. Snip off one corner of the bag and squeeze the peanut butter out in a zig zag motion on top of the chocolate layer. You do not need to use all of it, as you will need more peanut butter for the top. If you love peanut butter and you wanted to use the whole 1/3 cup at this point, just add more peanut butter to the bag for the top.

4. Follow Step 2 using the Cookies & Cream ice cream.

5. Cut the mini Snickers in quarters and place them on the Cookies & Cream layer. Follow Step 2 with the Vanilla ice cream to cover the Snickers pieces.

6. After you smooth out the Vanilla layer, use the rest of the peanut butter on top of the Vanilla ice cream using the same method as before. Take 4 Oreos and put one at the top, bottom and each side. Take 6-8 mini Snickers and place them in between the Oreos.  In a new Ziploc bag, put 3-4 Oreos and mini Snickers and smash by hand. Sprinkle in the middle on top of the peanut butter. And…your creation is finished!

What kind of ice cream would you HAVE to use in an ice cream pie??
