Scale

1 ½ cups chocolate wafer crumbs (about 36 wafers)

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

8 ounces cream cheese

softened

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

½ cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate

finely chopped

½ cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Chopped peanuts

Chocolate shavings

Peanut butter cups

halved

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine chocolate wafer crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
For the chocolate ganache, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes.
Add butter to the bowl and whisk until smooth. Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour it over the chilled peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly.
Chill the pie for another hour, then garnish with chopped peanuts, chocolate shavings, and halved peanut butter cups before serving.

For an extra creamy filling, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened. You can also use milk chocolate for a sweeter ganache.
