- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 Tablespoons water
- Pinch of salt
- 6 Tablespoons cream
For ice cream pie:
- 12 baked Peanut Envy or Peanut Paul &

Directions
For butterscotch sauce:
In a small heavy saucepan, over medium heat, combine brown
sugar, corn syrup, butter, water and salt. Bring to a boil,
stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat to
cool. When mixture is cool, stir in cream.
For ice cream pie:
Using a food processor, reduce one dozen of baked Peanut Envy
or Peanut Paul & Mary Real Cookies™ to small crumbs. Add melted
butter and pulse a few times to mix.
Pour mixture into a springform pan, pressing evenly over bottom
and up about an inch on sides. Cover with plastic wrap and
freeze until crust is firm.
Cover frozen crust with 1/2 of the ice cream, spreading evenly.
Freeze until firm.
Spread 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce evenly over ice cream and
sprinkle with peanuts. Freeze until firm.
Spread remaining ice cream over peanuts and freeze until firm.
Spread chopped Snickers bars evenly over ice cream, pressing
them in gently. Freeze until firm.
For chocolate sauce:
In a heavy saucepan, over medium heat, bring cream almost
to a boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate and vanilla,
whisking until chocolate is entirely melted and mixture is
smooth. To reheat, place mixture in the top of a double boiler
over simmering water.
To serve, let ice cream pie soften a little and run a warm
knife around inside of pan. Remove sides of pan and cut pie
into wedges. Decoratively drizzle chocolate sauce over ice
cream wedges.
Tips
This ice cream pie is very easy to make, but it is time consuming
because the pie must be frozen after each addition. Plan to
make this a day before you want to serve it.
