Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Make the Chocolate Ganache Heat heavy cream until warm (but not boiling), then pour over chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly.
