Pulse until a fine, crumbly mixture forms.

Bake
4
Firmly press processed cookie butter mixture into a 9” pie pan. (I find using the back of a clean spoon to smooth it out after pressing it down with my hands works best!) Bake for ⏱️ 10 minutes. Let crust cool completely before filling.
5
Melt 8 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate in the microwave until smooth. Set aside for now.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese and 6 tablespoons room temperature unsalted butter using a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Mix in 1 cup powdered sugar until combined, then add 1 cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined, light and fluffy, approximately ⏱️ 3-4 minutes.
