• Add in melted butter and blend with on/off turns.
• Press the crumb mixture onto bottom and up sides of a 10-inch springform pan (this can be prepared well in advance).
• Bake for about 15 minutes, or until crust starts to puff up and darkens; cool completely.
• For the filling: using an electric mixer, beat the 2 cups peanut butter and softened cream cheese in a large bowl until well blended.
• Add in powdered sugar, and 1-1/2 tablespoons vanilla; beat well until blended.
• Using clean beaters beat the 2 cups whipping cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Using a spatula fold into peanut butter mixture in three or four additions.
• Spoon into prepared cooled crust.
• For the topping: combine 1/2 cup whipping cream, 1/4 cup sugar and espresso powder in a heavy medium saucepan; stir over medium heat until the espresso powder dissolves and mixture comes to a simmer; remove from heat.
• Add in the chopped chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth.
• Whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla; cool for 6 minutes.
• Spread topping evenly over the filling.
• Refrigerate cake until cold (about 5 hours, longer is better!).

Steps:

• Make peanut butter mousse:
• Crush cookies in food processor and set aside.
• Soften cream cheese, add peanut butter, and mix well. Add powdered sugar. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into peanut mixture and set aside.
• Make ganache:
• Place chocolate chips in bowl and set aside. Heat heavy cream until it starts to boil. Pour over chips and stir.
• Assembly:
• Use an 8-inch springform pan. As a first layer, spread half of the cookie crumbs on bottom, then pour on a thin layer (about 1/3) of ganache, enough just to hold cookie crumbs. Place half of the peanut butter mousse in the pan and spread over the ganache. Place the remaining cookie crumbs on top of the mousse. Place a third of the chocolate on top of the mousse. Place remaining mousse in pan, and finish cake with remaining ganache. Place in freezer for one hour. Remove from freezer, take out of pan, and serve.
