Chocolate-Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie

Whether you’re serving a large crowd or a small family, ice cream pies make it easy to dish up everyone’s favorite frozen treat. To quickly soften ice cream let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then scoop it into the bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Beat at low speed, using the paddle attachment, 5 to 10 seconds or until just smooth enough to spread. (To prevent crystallization when refrozen, ice cream should be softened just enough to spread easily into the crust – not so warm that it begins to melt.)
