Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined.

Pour the mixture into the chilled pie crust and freeze for 25-30 minutes.
**Chocolate Ganache:**
Melt chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in 30-second increments.
Pour the ganache over the chilled peanut butter filling and freeze for 1-2 hours.
**Assemble Pie:**

Spread or pipe whipped cream on top of the pie and sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups.
Keep chilled until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Use your favorite chocolate for the ganache, whether it's sweet or dark.
Feel free to use a chocolate Oreo cookie crust instead of graham cracker.
Use any brand of peanut butter cups; Trader Joe's or Reese's work well.
Full-fat cream cheese is recommended for its creamy texture.
Prepare ahead and store covered in the freezer or refrigerator, adding fresh whipped cream on the day of serving.
