Peanut Butter Cornflake Ice Cream Pie

This frozen delight has been a family recipe for about 25 years. I remember eating it after supper in the hot midwest summertime! This is so easy and is really very delicious.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 6-8
• Yields: 1 double

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
• 1⁄2 cup light corn syrup
• 4  cups  corn flakes cereal (I use "Clusters" brand ONLY)
• 1  quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened (prefer Breyer's Natural Vanilla)
•  chocolate syrup, optional for garnish
•  peanuts, optional for garnish

Directions

1. Stir together peanut butter and syrup in a medium to large sized bowl.
2. Add Clusters brand cereal and stir until evenly coated.
3. Press half of this mixture into the bottom of a 9" pie plate.
4. Scoop and press ice cream into bottom "crust".
5. Top with remaining "crust" mixture.
6. Return to freezer.
7. Remove from freezer 5 minutes before serving.
8. Optional: Serve drizzled with chocolate syrup and sprinkled with peanuts.
9. I usually prefer this without either the chocolate syrup or the peanuts, but it's great either way!
10. Recipe can be doubled to fit 9x13 dish.
