Time 4h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

13 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
9 ounces peanut butter sandwich cookies, such as Nutter Butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter chips, plus more for garnish
One 8-ounce block cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup marshmallow creme
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for garnish
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • For the brownie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with 1 tablespoon butter, then dust with flour. Tap out any excess.
  • Microwave 4 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until melted, about 1 minute. Add the peanut butter cookies to the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs have formed. Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the cookies are wet like sand. Press the cookie crumbs into the bottom and completely up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the semisweet chocolate and the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs and sugar until well combined. Gently fold in the flour mixture until well combined. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Pour the batter in the cookie crust and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • For the peanut butter cream: Meanwhile, place the cream cheese, peanut butter and marshmallow creme in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the heavy cream to a separate medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, then fold in the mini chocolate chips. Spread the mixture on the top of the pie and chill until completely set, about 2 hours.
  • For the whipped topping: Meanwhile, whisk the cream cheese, heavy cream and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Mound the whipped topping on top of the pie and sprinkle with more mini chocolate chips and peanut butter chocolate chips.

  • Bake 30 to 40 minutes, covering edge of crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes, until crust is golden brown and center of brownie is set. Cool slightly, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate 1 hour or until completely cooled.
  • In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread mixture over brownie. Sprinkle with peanuts and chocolate chips. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for the brownie layer, make sure to mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense brownie.
  • For a fudgier brownie, use melted butter instead of softened butter.
  • To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
  • For a creamier peanut butter filling, use a combination of creamy and crunchy peanut butter.
  • To prevent the chocolate ganache from becoming too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
