Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar, then pour in the melted unsalted butter. Mix until moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of your pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden, then let cool.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then add creamy peanut butter and mix until combined.
  5. Sift in powdered sugar while mixing, then pour in heavy cream and vanilla; mix until light and fluffy.
  6. Spread the filling over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering, then pour over chopped chocolate. Whisk until smooth.
  8. Pour the chocolate ganache over the set filling and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips, if desired.
  9. Chill the assembled pie for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
  10. Let the pie sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving.
