In a medium mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, combine softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Add vanilla and pudding mix; beat well. Scrape down sides of bowl and beaters, then beat on high speed for about 1 minute - mixture will be thick and sticky, but fluffy.
Pour filling mixture into pre-made crust. Set the bowl and beaters aside, but do not wash them yet. Put the pie into the freezer while preparing topping.
Custom Topping:Use the same bowl and beaters used to mix the filling base - leftovers will only enhance the topping flavor. Mix the cream cheese and whipped topping together. Add the honey [or the ingredient you are using] and beat on medium speed until thoroughly blended. Scrape down the bowl and beaters. Mix on highest speed for 1 minute. Mixture will be thick and airy.
Spread the topping over the filling in the pie. Return pie to freezer and chill 4 hours or overnight. Take pie out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 15 - 20 minutes before cutting; this will make cutting much easier. Garnish as desired before serving. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
