Categories     dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield about 44 bite-size pieces

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cooking spray
2 cups smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Brownie Layer:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Macaroon Layer:
3 large egg whites
One 14-ounce bag sweetened, shredded coconut
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the bottom position of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
  • For the peanut butter cookie layer: Beat the peanut butter, sugar and salt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high until smooth. Beat the eggs in one at a time and then the vanilla. Adjust the speed to medium-low, add the flour and beat until incorporated. Press the batter into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish; set aside.
  • For the brownie layer: Combine the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool slightly, then stir in the sugar. Mix in the eggs until combined. Stir in the flour mixture and then the chocolate chips until just combined. Pour the brownie batter over the peanut butter layer.
  • For the macaroon layer: Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until frothy. Toss the coconut, sugar, vanilla and salt together with your hands in another large bowl; add the egg whites, and stir until the coconut mixture is coated. Scatter the coconut mixture in an even layer on top of the brownie layer (there shouldn't be any brownie peeking through).
  • Bake until the center doesn't jiggle when the pan is shaken and the coconut is golden brown, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. (A knife inserted in the middle will still come out wet, because the brownie layer is super fudgy. The jiggle cue is the key to determining doneness.)
  • Transfer the pan to a rack, and let the bar mixture cool completely, preferably overnight. Lift it out of the pan, and peel off the foil. Trim the bar mixture to make neat edges, and cut into very small squares, about the size of fudge.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Yield 9 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 17

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 sticks unsalted butter, cubed
1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chip, divided
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
⅓ cup dark cocoa powder
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup crispy rice cereal
8 oz milk chocolate chips
¾ cup heavy cream, hot
flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (23-cm) square baking pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
  • Add the butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1½ minutes, then let sit for 3 minutes before whisking until smooth. Add the granulated and brown sugars, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs until fully incorporated.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl and fold to combine with a spatula. Add the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips and fold to incorporate.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Let cool completely.
  • Make the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together the powdered sugar and peanut butter until crumbly. Add the melted butter and mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  • Scoop the peanut butter filling on top of the cooled brownies and use offset spatula to spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the crispy rice cereal on top. Freeze for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating will make the brownies tough.

  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
