Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, cold
1 cup creamy peanut butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate fudge sauce, warmed slightly
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze the crust for 15 minutes.
Make the ice cream base: In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the peanut butter ice cream mixture into the prepared crust. Drizzle half of the warmed fudge sauce over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the fudge into the ice cream layer.
Spread the remaining peanut butter mixture over the first layer. Drizzle with the remaining fudge sauce and create a final swirl pattern.
Cover the pie plate tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely firm.
Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes for easier slicing. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
For a cleaner slice, run a sharp knife under hot water and dry it before cutting each piece.
You can substitute graham cracker crumbs for the Oreo crumbs if you prefer a less chocolatey crust.
If your peanut butter is cold, warm it slightly in the microwave for 15 seconds to make it easier to mix into the condensed milk.
