Prepare the crust

Make the mousse
In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in 1/4 cup of water. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and the dissolved gelatin. Mix until well combined.

Whip the cream
In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
