Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 12 pieces sugar cones
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

For the Chocolate Layer

  • 2.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream

For the Ice Cream Filling

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream

For the Topping

  • 6 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 0.5 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add sugar cones to a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
  • Mix the cone crumbs with melted butter until the mixture is fully coated.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate.
  • Place the pie plate in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Chocolate Filling

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, then add 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.
  • Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly and spread over the cold crust.
  • Freeze for 30 minutes.

Add Ice Cream

  • Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  • Spoon the softened ice cream into the chilled pie crust.
  • Smooth it out evenly, mounding the center slightly for a classic pie shape.
  • Place the pie back into the freezer to harden completely.

Topping

  • Microwave the remaining chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each cycle, until fully melted and smooth.
  • Cool slightly and pour evenly over the ice cream layer.
  • Quickly sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top before the chocolate hardens.
  • Return the pie to the freezer until ready to serve.

Notes

Serve straight from the freezer for the best texture. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
