Ingredients
- 16 graham crackers (the full sheets, with 4 sections)
- 1/3 cup (2/3 stick) butter, melted
- 2 pints vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans, plus more for serving
- 4 peanut butter cups, such as Reese’s, roughly chopped
- 2 large Butterfinger bars, roughly chopped
- Jarred caramel or hot fudge sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the graham crackers in a large plastic zipper bag and seal it. Smash the crackers with a rolling pin until they’re crushed into fine crumbs. (Or you can use a food processor!) Move the crumbs to a large bowl, then pour in the melted butter and stir them to combine. Press the crumbs into a pie plate slowly packing them so they’re firm. Bake the crust for 5 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, stir the ice cream until it’s smooth but still firm and somewhat frozen. Add the pecans and candies and stir until it’s all combined.
- Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the surface, then cover the pie and place it in the freezer to harden, 2 to 3 hours minimum. (Psst: Make it up to a week in advance! It keeps well in the freezer if it’s covered tightly.)
- Use a warm knife to cut neat slices, then drizzle with your favorite jarred caramel or hot fudge sauce.
- Change Things Up!
- Make a chocolate mint version: Use mint chocolate chip ice cream and mix in chopped peppermint patties. Pour it into a chocolate cookie crust.
- Use any combination of ice cream flavor and candy/nut you’d like!
