Ingredients For Peanut Butter Brownie Pie :

For the Brownie Base:

• 1 box brownie mix
• 2 eggs (as directed on box)
• 1/2 cup oil (as directed on box)
• 1/4 cup water (as directed on box)

For the Peanut Butter Cream Layer:

• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
• 12 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Topping:

• Chocolate sauce
• Salted peanuts

How to Make Peanut Butter Brownie Pie :

Step 1: Bake the Brownie Base

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or the temperature specified on the brownie mix box).
2. Lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions (mixing in the eggs, oil, and water).
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until set. Use the baking time for a 9×9 pan on the box as a guideline, then adjust if needed.
5. Remove from the oven and allow the brownie base to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Cream

1. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream, vanilla, and cornstarch together until firm peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a small bowl and set aside.
2. In the same mixing bowl (no need to wash!), beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and combined.
3. Gradually add the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4. Carefully fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Scoop the peanut butter cream mixture onto the cooled brownie base. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
2. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the peanut butter layer is firm.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

1. Remove the sides of the springform pan and transfer the pie to a serving plate.
2. Drizzle the top with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with salted peanuts for a crunchy, salty-sweet finish.
3. Slice into pieces and serve chilled.

Tips for Success :

1. Cool Brownies Completely: Ensure the brownie base is completely cool before adding the peanut butter cream layer to prevent melting.
2. Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese ensures a smooth, lump-free filling.
3. Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
4. Customize Toppings: Try adding mini chocolate chips, Reese’s pieces, or crushed pretzels for extra flair.

FAQs About Peanut Butter Brownie Pie :

1. Can I Use Homemade Brownies Instead of Boxed Mix?

Absolutely! Prepare your favorite homemade brownie recipe and bake in a springform pan.

2. Can I Use Whipped Topping Instead of Heavy Cream?

Yes, whipped topping can be substituted for the whipped cream layer. Use about 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping.

3. How Long Does This Dessert Last?

Store the pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

4. Can I Freeze Peanut Butter Brownie Pie?

Yes! Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
