Common Grill Peanut Butter Pie

I'm going to try to make a long story short. OK, my mom is from Michigan and now, my grandma lives right down the road from Jeff Daniels (Dumb & Dumber, 101 Dalmatians, Michigan commercials, etc.). Jeff Daniels owns a really fancy restaurant in Chelsea called the "Common Grill". My mom came across this recipe for Common Grill's peanut butter pie and she and I decided to make it for Thanksgiving and it was splendiferous!!! With a little help from our "Paula Deen" springform pan, it came out wonderfully!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup melted butter
-9 oz crushed chocolate wafer cookies (we used chocolate graham crackers)
-20 oz softened cream cheese
-1 cup sugar
-20 oz creamy peanut butter
-2 cups heavy cream
-1 cup powdered sugar
-1 and 1/2 cups honey roasted peanuts
-optional hot fudge to drizzle over the top (we didn't do that...whew! rich!)

Directions
1) Combine crushed cookies and butter until well-mixed then press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan and up the sides 2 inches
2) Beat cream cheese and sugar. Add in the peanut butter and beat until smooth. Set aside
3) Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form
4) Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture 1/3 at a time
5) Pour into springform pan and top with honey roasted peanuts
6) Freeze the pie for 3-5 hours or until firm
7) Remove pie from springform to serve
