Who is in desperate need of a sweet and salty combo dessert? Maybe that time of the month calls for it? Well, your in luck ladies and anyone for that matter, for my peanut butter cup dessert terrine!

A super simple dessert to make which can be put together in about 20 minutes. The only time consuming part of this dessert is the freeze time required before serving! But I promise, no one will be disappointed taking a bite out of this terrine!
What is a dessert terrine?
A terrine is an ice cream dessert that is served in layers or ice cream, molded in a bowl or a pan. The options for this dessert are endless! Many varieties of ice cream have been used along with toppings that pair well. No two pieces will look alike when sliced.
I used creamy vanilla ice cream, peanut butter cups and pretzels because the sweet and salty combination really hit the spot this week. A 9x5 loaf pan was used, but a bowl can be used as well to create a "bomb" shape.
