Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Cookie Crust
- 2 ¼ cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
Ice Cream Pie
- 1 cup fudge sauce
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 ½ cups peanuts, lightly salted
- 7.5 ounces Magic Topping (Magic Shell chocolate sauce)
Instructions
- Soften Ice Cream: Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften at room temperature so it’s easy to spread.
- Prepare Crust: In a bowl, mix Oreo cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the crust.
- Layer Ice Cream and Fudge: Spread half of the softened ice cream evenly over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing it flat with a spatula. Pour the fudge sauce over the ice cream layer and spread it out gently into an even layer.
- Add Peanuts: Sprinkle half of the lightly salted peanuts evenly over the fudge layer to add a crunchy texture.
- Top with Remaining Ice Cream and Peanuts: Scoop the remaining softened ice cream on top and press it flat to create the next layer. Sprinkle the remaining peanuts evenly over the top.
- Drizzle Magic Topping: Drizzle the Magic Shell chocolate sauce evenly over the top of the ice cream and peanuts.
- Freeze: Place the assembled pie in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
- Serve: Once firm, slice and serve your homemade Dairy Queen Buster Bar Pie to enjoy a delicious frozen treat.
Notes
- Make sure the ice cream is softened but not melted for easier spreading.
- You can substitute salted peanuts with any nuts of your choice or omit for allergies.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal of the pie.
- If Magic Topping (Magic Shell) is unavailable, use any chocolate hardening sauce.
- This dessert requires freezing, so plan ahead for at least 3 hours of freezing time.
- For extra crunch, consider adding chopped peanuts to the Oreo crust as well.
