Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie I

Tiny bits of peanuts are worked into the baked graham cracker crust and peanuts are scattered over the top of the pie. The filling in between is a yummy combination of vanilla ice cream blended with creamy peanut butter. This very peanutty pie is served frozen and can be topped with dollops of freshly whipped cream.
