👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

1. Pulse cookies in a food processor until they’re fine crumbs.

2. Mix with melted butter until evenly moistened.

3. Press into a 9-inch pie dish and up the sides. Use the bottom of a glass to pack it tightly.

4. Chill in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

2. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.

4. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Ganache

1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering—don’t boil.

2. Remove from heat, add chocolate chips and a pinch of salt, and let sit for 2–3 minutes.

3. Stir until smooth and glossy.

4. Let cool slightly, then pour over the chilled pie filling. Smooth with a spatula.

5. Chill the pie for at least 3 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
