Instructions

Prepare your pie crust by blending the cookies into a fine crumb then mixing it with the melted butter. Press it into 8 or 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together your cream cheese with the powdered sugar until combined. Add your vanilla extract and peanut butter and continue beating, until smooth. Slowly add your heavy cream and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
Transfer your cheesecake filling onto the prepared pie crust and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
Once the peanut butter cheesecake has set, prepare your ganache by heating up your coconut cream (in the microwave or stovetop). Once warm, add your chocolate chips and let sit for 1-2 minutes, before whisking together until combined. Pour the ganache over the top of the cheesecake.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
