Make the Peanut Butter Mousse
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well incorporated. Pour the mousse into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
