Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreo or chocolate graham crackers)

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

For the peanut butter filling:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped heavy cream (or whipped topping)

For the chocolate layer:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup heavy cream

For the topping:

½ cup whipped heavy cream

2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional)

Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.

            Make the peanut butter filling:

              - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.

                - Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until well combined and creamy.

                  - Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.

                    Assemble the pie:

                      - Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled chocolate crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate while you prepare the chocolate layer.

                        Prepare the chocolate layer:

                          - In a small saucepan, heat the ½ cup of heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer.

                            - Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

                              - Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then pour it over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly.

                                Chill the pie:

                                  - Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

                                    Serve the pie:

                                      - Before serving, whip the heavy cream for the topping until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe it over the chocolate layer.

                                        - Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.

                                          - Slice, serve, and enjoy the decadent delight!
