Yield: 8
Ingredients: 1 cup cream cheese; 1 cup sugar; 1 cup peanut butter; 1 tablespoon butter; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 1 cup heavy cream; 1 pie crust; 1 cup chocolate chips; 3 tablespoons brewed coffee; buttercream; .25 cups peanuts

Instructions

Pie filling

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat together cream cheese, sugar, peanut butter and vanilla until creamy
transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl - clean out stand mixer bowl
In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk tool, add 1 cup of heavy cream
whisk on medium-low speed until frothy - about 2 minutes
gradually increase speed until you are full speed and whisk until cream forms stiff peaks

If you have trouble reaching stiff peaks, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or meringue powder to help.
Gently fold whipped cream into mixture until just combined

Don't over-mix - it will become very dense.
Pour mixture into pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula
Refrigerate while preparing the topping

Pie topping

Combine chocolate chips and coffee in a bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Check regularly and stir to avoid burning.
Pour over top of pie and refrigerate overnight.

Yes, it really needs to set overnight. It will be a mess if you try to cut it early.
Optionally, prepare a buttercream and pipe around the edge.

I made a coffee-flavored buttercream which went really well with the peanut butter and chocolate.
Optionally, add chopped peanuts to top before serving.
