Scoop filling into the pie crust and spread out evenly. Freeze for 30 minutes.
For the Chocolate Ganache
Heat the heavy whipping cream in a pot on low heat until the heavy whipping cream is just about to boil, stirring occasionally.
½ cup heavy whipping cream
Place the chocolate chips into a medium sized bowl. Pour the heavy whipping cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
1 ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Stir with a spatula in the same motion, switching to a whisk once you get it going. Whisk it together until it is smooth.
Let it sit to cool to room temperature before putting it on the pie.
Topping Off the Pie
Pour the ganache over the pie. Immediately place the halved peanut butter cups around the edges of the pie where the ganache is. Then sprinkle as many coarsely crushed peanut butter cups over the pie. (You want to do this before the ganache hardens.)
Cover with foil and place back into the freezer 2 hours.
