Peanut Butter Brownie Pie
Description
Peanut Butter Brownie Pie starts with a boxed brownie mix baked into a deep pie pan, creating a chewy and dense base. Its preparation is straightforward, relying on the brownie mix directions but using a springform pan for easy removal. The peanut butter topping is a smooth blend of cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla, lightened by folding in stiffly whipped heavy cream that includes cornstarch for stability.
The pie is refrigerated to allow the topping to set firmly over the brownie crust, enhancing its creaminess while preserving the brownie’s moist chew. Finally, it is garnished with chocolate sauce and salted peanuts which provide contrasting flavors and a crunchy texture against the creamy topping and fudgy crust.
This dessert suits occasions where a rich, peanut butter-flavored pie is desired and benefits from chilling time for proper structure. The use of a boxed mix simplifies the baking process without compromising the rich taste expected from a peanut butter and chocolate combination.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 egg
- 1/2 cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 12 oz cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup peanut butter smooth
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- chocolate sauce
- peanuts salted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees or temperature on back of brownie box. Lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch spring form pan and set aside.
- In large bowl, mix brownie batter according to package directions. Pour into prepared pan and bake 30-40 minutes or until set. Look on the back of the box for the time it takes to bake a 9×9 square pan of brownies-that’s a good time to start off with and then go from there. Remove brownies from oven and cool completely.
- In a stand mixer, whip heavy cream with vanilla and cornstarch until firm peaks form. Scrape whipped cream into smaller bowl and set aside. In the same stand mixer bowl (no need to wash!), whip cream cheese and peanut butter together until combined. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Scrape sides and whip again for 1 minute. Carefully fold in whipped cream. Scoop peanut butter mixture onto cooked brownie and smooth the top. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
- When you are ready to serve, remove sides of spring form pan. Cut into pieces and drizzle with chocolate sauce and salted peanuts.
