Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush chocolate cookies into fine crumbs, mix with melted unsalted butter, and press into a pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes and cool completely.
Make the Peanut Butter Filling
  1. Combine creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into cooled crust and smooth it with a spatula.
Prepare Chocolate Ganache
  1. Combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heat-proof bowl over simmering water. Stir gently until melted and smooth. Pour over peanut butter filling.
Chill the Pie
  1. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until ganache is firm but yielding. This helps flavors meld together.
