1 baked single pie crust (9-inch) or make the dough it from scratch
3 Tbsp cream cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup sugar

For the ganache glaze:
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 Tbsp unsalted butter


1. In an electric mixer, beat all of your ingredients except the cream on high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the cream until you form stiff peaks, around 5 minutes. Fold your whipped cream into the mixture and pour everything into the pie crust.
3. Cover in plastic wrap and freeze overnight.

For the ganache glaze:
4. The following day, remove your pie from the freezer and let it defrost for about 2 hours. Remove plastic from pie.
5. In a small saucepan, bring the cream and butter to a boil and then slowly fold in your chocolate on a low heat.
6. Spread the chocolate over the pie and chill in the refrigerator until set.
