Make the Ganache:

  • Place peanut butter chips and heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl, for 1 minute for 50% power, remove from microwave, stir until smooth. Pour into cooled pie crust. Place in refrigerator while you make the Peanut Butter Cream.

Make the Peanut Butter Cream:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix pudding  and milk, with an electric mixer on medium speed, for 2 minutes; set aside
  • In another bowl, mix peanut butter, cream cheese, and condensed milk until smooth. Stir in pudding mixture until it's evenly incorporated. Gently fold in 8 ounces of the Cool Whip; pour into crust. Spread remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip decoratively over top. Refrigerate 4-6 hours.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle outside 2-3 inch diameter with chopped peanuts and serve.
