Steps:
- For crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Blend cookies, sugar and cinnamon in processor to fine crumbs. Add melted butter and blend well using on/off turns. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and up sides of 10-inch-diameter springform pan. Bake until crust starts to puff and darkens slightly, about 15 minutes. Cool.
- For filling:
- Using electric mixer, beat peanut butter and cream cheese in large bowl to blend. Add powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract and beat until well blended. Using clean dry beaters, beat 2 cups whipping cream in medium bowl until stiff peaks form; fold into peanut butter mixture in 4 additions. Spoon filling into prepared crust.
- For topping:
- Combine 1/2 cup cream, 1/4 cup sugar and espresso powder in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until espresso powder and sugar dissolve and mixture comes to simmer. Remove from heat.

(Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover cake and keep refrigerated.) Serve cake chilled.
Tips:
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the chocolate crust so that it fits snugly in the pan.
- To make sure the chocolate crust is firm, chill it for at least 30 minutes before adding the peanut butter mousse filling.
- If you want a richer mousse filling, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To make the mousse filling even more decadent, you can add a tablespoon of melted chocolate or peanut butter.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the mousse filling over the chocolate crust. Just be sure to smooth it out as best you can.
- Be patient when chilling the cake. It needs at least 4 hours to set properly.
- When you're ready to serve the cake, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes so that it's easier to slice.
