Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy or whipping cream, beaten until stiff
1 (9-inch) prepared chocolate cookie-crumb crust
1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
3 tablespoons brewed coffee
Chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions

For the filling, use an electric mixer in a large bowl to beat cream cheese, sugar, peanut butter, butter and vanilla until creamy. Gently fold in half the beaten cream. Then fold in remaining cream until blended. Spread filling in crust, smoothing the top. In a microwave-proof bowl, combine chocolate pieces and coffee. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Cool chocolate slightly, and pour over top of filling. Refrigerate overnight. When serving, garnish with chopped peanuts and additional chocolate sauce, if desired.
