My husband Scott’s favorite type of pie or cake is of the  frozen ice cream variety.  Who can blame him?  Any creamy ice cream flavor poured into a tasty shell or layered in between homemade spongecake…mmm.  Not wanting to wait until his next Birthday to make him a special ice cream treat, I decided to make a peanut butter-flavored ice cream pie with a chocolate shell.  Simply soften two pints of vanilla ice cream and mix in 1 cup of peanut butter.  Pour into a chocolate pie shell lined with chopped peanut butter cups and there you have it.  A few hours in the freezer and a homemade, decadent frozen treat awaits you.
