Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 225 grams cream cheese, softened
- 160 grams creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 120 grams dark chocolate chips
- 30 grams peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.
Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the chocolate mixture until combined.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl, and fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming the edges as needed.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely.
To make the peanut butter filling, beat the cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip 120 milliliters of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until smooth.
Spread the peanut butter filling over the cooled brownie layer in an even layer. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
To make the chocolate ganache, heat the remaining 120 milliliters of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the ganache over the chilled peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for garnish.
Refrigerate the pie for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
Slice and serve the Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownie Pie chilled. Enjoy!
