Quick Fathers Day Ice Cream Pie for 8

Instructions:

1. Combine the crushed wafers, peanut butter, and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan, packing it tightly with a measuring cup.
3. Place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the fats.
4. Place the slightly softened chocolate ice cream in a large bowl and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
5. Spoon the ice cream mixture into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly while leaving a 1/4 inch margin around the perimeter to prevent overflow.
6. Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
7. Whip the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
8. Just before serving, top the pie with the whipped cream and garnish with shaved dark chocolate.
