YUMMIEST PEANUT-ICE CREAM PIE
 
This scrumptious pie is a peanut lovers delight!   This pie I created is my family's 
favorite.
 
Crust:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped blanched peanuts
  Sift together flour and sugar; cut in butter until particles are fine.  Stir in the 
chopped peanuts, chill for 30 minutes.  Pour into a 9-inch pie pan; press out to form 
a crust.  Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool on 
a rack.
 
Filling:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup coarsely chopped blanched peanuts, toasted
1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
Gently spread peanut butter on bottom of cooled crust.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup of peanuts 
over the peanut butter.  Spoon softened ice cream evenly on top.  Top with whipped 
cream and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup peanuts.  Place in the freezer until 
serving time.  One delicious 9-inch pie.  Enjoy!
