Ingredients
Crust
2 cups crushed waffle cones (or sugar cones)
6 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Ice Cream Filling
4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened (not melted)
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Chocolate Topping
1 cup chocolate chips
2 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil (helps create a “magic shell” effect)
Optional Toppings
Extra chopped peanuts
Caramel drizzle
Whipped cream
Preparation – Step by Step
1️⃣ Make the Crust
- In a bowl, combine crushed waffle cones, melted butter, and sugar.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Freeze for 10–15 minutes to set.
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, fold together softened vanilla ice cream, chopped peanuts, and chocolate chips.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the frozen crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Freeze for 2 hours, or until firm.
3️⃣ Add the Chocolate Topping
- Melt chocolate chips + coconut oil in the microwave (20-second intervals, stirring until smooth).
- Pour over the frozen pie — the chocolate will harden like the top of a Drumstick cone.
- Sprinkle extra chopped peanuts on top before chocolate fully sets.
4️⃣ Serve
Freeze for another 30–60 minutes before slicing.
Let the pie sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting for easier slicing.
