Prepare the crust by placing the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulsing until they form fine crumbs.
In a medium bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create the crust. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
Scoop the softened peanut butter ice cream into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly to fill the pie shell. Smooth the top with a spatula. Return the pie to the freezer for 2-3 hours to firm up completely.
Make the ganache topping by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam (but not boil). Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Wait 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Allow the ganache to cool slightly, then pour it over the top of the frozen pie, spreading it evenly to the edges. Freeze the pie again for 30 minutes to set the ganache.
If desired, drizzle warmed creamy peanut butter over the ganache and sprinkle with crushed peanuts for a decorative touch.
Slice the pie into wedges and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer, covered tightly.
