Substitutions:

The original recipe called for 1 1/2 cups heavy cream. I only had 1 cup, and it filled the pie shell nicely.

For my crust, I combined one sleeve of chocolate graham crackers with 4 tablespoons of melted butter and pressed it into a pie dish. Went great with the peanut butter filling. I also drizzled a little chocolate sauce over each piece of pie after I cut it.
