Start by preparing the base. Crush the biscuits, pour into a bowl and add the melted butter. Mix well and line a round tin with this mixture. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture well into the sides of the mould so that they are coated. Put the mould in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, peanut butter and sugar, stirring until smooth.
Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of water, drain and place in the microwave with a little water so that the gelatine melts. Add to the peanut butter and cheese mixture, mixing well. Pour the cream into the mould, spread it out well and put it back in the cold for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
For the salted caramel, place the sugar in the pan and heat until melted. Add the butter and mix for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and slowly add the cream.
