For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

For the Filling:

  • Spread mixture into the prepared crust and place back into the fridge till needed.

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • Heat the heavy cream in the microwave for about 1 minute until hot.
  • Pour hot cream over the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for about 2-3 minutes. Whisk together till smooth and creamy.
  •  Allow mixture to set for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer.
  • Arrange chopped peanut butter cups all around the edges of the pie, or the entire top, however you want.
  • Cover the pie carefully with foil and return to the fridge or freezer for at least 2 hours.
  • Slice when ready and serve. (If removing pie from the freezer, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make slicing easier)
  • Cover any leftovers and store in fridge or freezer.
