Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F.
• In a bowl, combine cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Pat the mixture onto the bottom and sides of a buttered 9-inch pie plate. I use the flat bottom of a small measuring cup to press the crumbs in an even layer.
• Bake the shell in the 400° F oven for 10 minutes, transfer it to a rack, and let cool completely.
• Once the crust is completely cool, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the peanut butter and cream cheese on medium speed until combined. Add confectioners' sugar, beat to combine. Add cream; mix on low speed until combined. Increase mixer to high speed; beat just until the mixture thickens (be careful not to overbeat).
• Spread the filling in the pie crust. Cover and refrigerate until firm; at least 4 hours or overnight.
