3 quarts chocolate ice cream
(7) 1.8 ounce packages milk chocolate covered peanut butter cups

tablespoon cookie mixture for garnish. In pie plate, mix butter
or margarine and remaining cookie mixture by hand. Press mixture
onto bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake 8 minutes. Cool crust
completely on wire rack.

Meanwhile, place chocolate ice cream in refrigerator about 40
minutes to soften slightly. Coarsely chop milk chocolate covered
peanut butter cups. In a large bowl mix softened ice cream with
chopped peanut butter cups. Spoon ice cream mixture into cooled
cookie crust. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture on top. Freeze until
firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.To serve, let pie stand at
room temperature 15 minutes for easier slicing. Meanwhile, in a
1-quart saucepan over low heat, heat milk chocolate fudge topping
until hot; stir in coffee and liqueur until blended. Cut pie
into wedges and serve with warm fudge sauce.
