Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie: No-Bake

Instructions:

1. Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
2. Beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until fluffy.
3. Gently fold in the whipped topping using a rubber spatula until combined but not deflated. Spread the filling evenly into the chilled crust.
4. Heat heavy cream in the microwave in 30-second intervals until it begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until a glossy glaze forms.
5. Pour the ganache over the peanut butter layer, tilting the pan to coat the surface. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before slicing.
