Rosalie's Ice Cream Pie With Peanut Butter Crust

Submitted by GirlEatsWorld

"My mom, Rosalie, made this pie for the first time about 20 years ago. Everyone that has had it asks for the recipe, and it is known by all of her friends all over the country as "Rosalie's Ice Cream Pie". It is my favorite ice cream pie. You can use different flavors of ice cream if you like, but I still prefer the original. Prep time does not include freezer time."
