In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Place in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip 3/4 cup of the cold heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until evenly combined.
Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. Place the pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.
To make the chocolate topping, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and immediately pour over the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Drizzle the chocolate topping over the frozen pie and spread evenly, if desired. Optionally, garnish with chopped peanut butter cups.
Place the pie back in the freezer for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate topping.
Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for easier slicing. Serve and enjoy!
