2. MAKE THE FILLING: Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and salt with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in peanut butter and vanilla.
3. Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Whisk one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, then gently fold in remaining whipped cream. Spoon filling into cooled crust. Freeze uncovered, at least 4 hours (or overnight, coverered with plastic wrap).
4. Place malted chocolate in a re-sealable bag. Snip tip from one corner of bag to make a very small opening. Hold bag about 5-inches above pie, drizzle melted chocolate over top. Repeat with melted peanut butter. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
