This cool and creamy pie has a lot going for it. It’s easy to make, it can be assembled well in advance to save time, and it's impressive enough to serve guests. To make this dessert even more decadent and delicious, you can chop extra peanuts and candy bars and crumble a few more cookies to sprinkle over the top. —Andrea Bolden, Unionville, Tennessee


Test Kitchen tips
  • A store-bought Oreo pie crust makes this treat even easier. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top of the prepared crust, then follow the recipe beginning at the second step.
  • To ensure that ice crystals don’t form when the pie goes into the freezer, make sure you don’t soften the ice cream too much.
  • Although the pie is great to have on hand for drop-in company, it shouldn’t be stored longer than a few weeks. But will you really stay out of it that long?
