1 pre baked pastry or Graham cracker* pie shell
1 qt. (1 L) good quality vanilla ice cream
1 cup (250 ml) peanut butter**
1/2 cup (125 ml) fudge sauce (Smuckers is good) or chocolate syrup
1/4 cup (60 ml) roasted peanuts (use more if you like)
* Graham crackers are a type of American biscuit which is thin, crisp, and
made from whole wheat flour. If these are not available in your area use
whatever you would use for a cheesecake-type crust.
** Peanut butter is an American product made from pureed peanuts. If it is
not available in your area you may substitute a jam or preserve of your
choice.
Instructions:
Soften the ice cream in the refrigerator for 1/2 to 1 hour. In a mixing
bowl swirl the ice cream and the peanut butter together, being careful not
to mix them too thoroughly. Put this mixture in the pie shell, drizzle with
the fudge sauce or chocolate syrup, and top with the peanuts. Freeze at
least 1 hour and serve frozen. Makes one pie to serve 6 to 8.
