Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Combine crushed cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
Beat cream cheese and peanut butter in a large bowl until smooth (2-3 minutes). Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix well. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and M&Ms.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
Spread the cheesecake filling into the crust. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and M&Ms. Drizzle with melted peanut butter (optional).
Step 4: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Step 5: Serve
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
