 Who’s ready for ice cream? Despite the fact that I’ve been eating ice cream for almost every  night for the last few weeks thanks to 6 new ice cream week recipes I’m still ready for some.  That’s dedication isn’t it?  Now while the weather is feeling more fall-like than summer at the moment,  it’s still that time for ice cream cakes, shakes, cookies and pies.  It is August after all!

Speaking of pies, how perfect is it that ice cream week is kicking off on National Ice Cream Pie Day?

Pretty good timing if I say so myself.

The idea for this pie was planted in my head after my brother made a candy bar pie featuring some chocolate peanut butter nougat and caramel.  I think you can figure out what candy I’m talking about right?

That was the pie of peanut butter, chocolate and caramel lovers dreams but I knew it could be improved with one item.

Ice Cream!!

Actually I lie, my brothers pie could be improved with two items, ice cream and homemade all-natural organic ingredients.  I splurge on the bad stuff now and then but when it comes down to it, if I’m already indulging in a chocolate, peanut butter and caramel laden pie it should use the best ingredients possible.
