The following recipe is the first of four finalists in our Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest, which challenged Turkey Hill fans to submit recipes in one of two different categories: recipes using our seasonal Ginger Snap ice cream, or recipes using any other Turkey Hill ice cream flavor. Over the next four days we’ll feature two recipes from each category and everyone will be asked to vote for their favorite beginning on Friday. The winner will receive a one year’s supply of Turkey Hill Ice Cream, and the other three finalists will receive a one month supply of ice cream. Enjoy the recipes!
Our first finalist in the category of “Any Other Turkey Hill Ice Cream Flavor” comes from Patti W. of Flushing, Michigan. The name of the recipe is a mouthful, and for good reason… this creation is DELICIOUS! The best part is the ability to customize it by topping it with any chopped candy bar you’d like. When we made it, we used a Heath bar (there are a few toffee lovers here). If you like this recipe, stop by this Friday and throughout next week to vote for it!

DECADENT DUTCH CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM PIE
.
INGREDIENTS:
Crust
Ready made chocolate pie crust
Chocolate Layer
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
Ice cream layer
4 cups Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate Ice Cream
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 chocolate candy bar(any kind) chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small saucepan combine evaporated milk, chocolate chips, sugar and butter. Cook over medium heat until just beginning to boil. Reduce heat to low while simmering and stirring for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened and smooth. Set chocolate mixture aside to cool. With the back of a spoon, spread a thin layer over bottom of pie crust and 1/2 inch up the sides. Reserve remaining chocolate sauce for topping. Freeze crust for 30 minutes. With mixer, or by hand, mix softened ice cream with peanut butter until combined. Spoon into frozen crust. Top ice cream with reserved chocolate mixture, garnish with chopped candy bar and freeze for 5 hours until firm or overnight. To serve, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving for easier slicing.

P.S. – Thank you very much to everyone who submitted recipes in this year’s contest. We received over 220 entries this year, easily outpacing last year’s total number of entries. There were so many great recipes to choose from, which made selecting just four extremely difficult. Needless to say, there was a lot of heated debate here at the Dairy about which ones should make the cut, but we finally came to a consensus. However, because there were so many great ones, we’re going to feature several “honorable mention” recipes (a dozen or more deserve that honor) over the first several months of the New Year.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
WOW! I Love This Recipe!
Great Job! I also am a Huge Fan of The Heath Bar! lol….:) Good Luck! & Happy Healthy Holiday Season!
Much Love & Thought’s & Prayer’s!; & Support!!!
Love & Hug’s, Susan
XOXO……<3
Decadent is the right word for this recipe. I’m going to a party this weekend and need to bring a dessert. Now should I make and take or keep it all for myself?
Maybe the winners should samples to all of us(in dry ice) who are part of the Turkey Hill club. Now that would be a great gift to receive. A Merry Christmas to all and may we all still wish for peace in the world. Bless our soldiers throughout the world as they spend Christmas away from their families.
Looks delicious…nice presentation!!
Hi, Pie looks heavy and full of calories for me / Ha//////
That sounds and looks delicious and can’t wait to try it since it has my favorites in it – chocolate and peanut butter!
Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
Do they have Turkey Hill in Michigan? My husband is from Michigan, and I was not aware they had Turkey hill available in the “Mitten State.”
Oh my! oh my! Be still my heart. Not even lunch time yet and I think I seriously need a good-sized piece of this pie! oh my! Skor bars would work on top, right?
It look good, but I will pass for just ice cream pie made with whipped cream and ice cream, mix well add your flavor topping mix well. pour into a cooked cool pie crust. Top with any kind of fruits jams freeze unti hard. Make sure the ice cream is soft before you mix it with the whipped cream. I love to add fresh blueberries to my ice cream and top with cherry jam.
Glad to hear everyone likes it so far. And yes, Skor bars would work just as well!
OH MY!! Of course I would eat it!!! It looks so good and so easy to make!:)
Sounds like you could save a step and use Turkey Hill Chocolate and Peanut Butter Ice Cream and not loose any of the flavour.
looks good–I guess they didn’t like my suggestion–didn’t hear from the judges–oh well–keep on buying Turkey Hill–
Wow — I didn’t know Turkey Hill ice cream was sold as far away as Michigan. Looks yummy!
Sounds delicious! And doesn’t look too difficult to make either which is a plus for me. This may be the dessert I serve with Christmas Dinner (if Santa doesn’t eat it all on Christmas Eve!)
I love your ice cream!
Could you please send me a slice of this delicious looking pie LOL. I will have to try making it. Linda
let me know when you make this great looking pie and I will be there to taste test it.
going to try it now
Please TH you must make this into one of your ice cream cakes! It looks so delicious, I wish I could get a bite of it right through the computer! I will be making this ice cream for my next party.
This is a great recipe and can be varied by adding or exchanging ingredients. I would use smooth peanut butter for a melt-in-your-mouth taste.
YUMMY!!!!!!
i love ur ice cream its soooooooo goood merry christmas to all the turkey farm workers it looks really good
Yummy in my tummy!!
sounds good and easy–two important things for me!!
I’m printing out the recipe to try sometime.
Love Chocolate and Peanutbutter! Gotta try this! Finally found Ginger Snap, but don’t have enough time to experiment before contest closed. Bummer! (But am thinking of using pumpkin with it in tarts.)
MMMM Sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try it!
Sounds delicious, just too lazy to make it, rather just eat the ice cream as it comes out of the carton and add my own toppings.
Sounds scrumptious!
Lois Sidelnic–remember bowling and Princess Fitness! Glad you’re an ice cream lover, too!.
I would enjoy eating this pie especially because of the peanut butter. My son, who loves ice cream pies, would have to pass on this one because of his peanut allergy. If recipes could substitute something else for peanut butter it would be great for those with nut allergies.
This looks so delicious!
Sounds very good……I love peanut butter!
If I make it my daughter will be in line for the first piece!
Chocolatey goodness! I will be making this pie! Nicely done:)
Sounds yummy though not to Holiday-ish
This looks DELICIOUS!!
