Instructions

Beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Whip 1 cup cream to stiff peaks and fold it into the peanut butter mixture. Spread in the crust.
Heat the remaining 1/3 cup cream until simmering, pour over the chocolate, and stir until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes, then spread over the filling.
Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.

Tips

Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
