Brownie Crusted Peanut Butter Pie Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER PIE WITH BROWNIE CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Place butter into medium-sized microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds depending on your microwave.
• In the meantime, grease a 9.5-inch pie dish or springform pan. Once butter has melted, add the brownie mix, egg, buttermilk, Coca-Cola, and salt and stir with a wooden spoon until ingredients are thoroughly mixed together and there are no flour pockets, about 50 strokes.
• Pour brownie batter into greased pan and bake for about 30 - 40 minutes, until brownies are done and edges are slightly pulling from the side of the pan. Keep brownies in pan and place on a cooling rack until completely cooled.
• While brownies are cooling, make the whipped cream by mixing together cream, sugar and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl until soft peaks form with a whisk or mixer. You should end up with about 2 cups, and you'll want to separate one cup for the filling and one cup for the topping.Make the peanut butter filling by putting peanut butter and cream cheese into a medium-sized bowl and mixing on medium - high until thoroughly combined.
• Add in powdered sugar and salt until thoroughly combined again. Mixture will be crumbly. Mix in 1 cup of the whipped cream until thoroughly combined. Mixture should be smooth, creamy and uniform in color.
• Prepare the brownie crust for the filling (once completely cool) by using your hand or a measuring up to flatten the brownies in the center, creating a traditional "pie crust" shape, leaving a higher edge. See photo for an example. If your brownies are on the cakier side, you may need to remove some of the brownie center. The crumbs are great to use in trifles, a cook's snack or you can even crumble over the finished pie.
• Pour peanut butter filling over brownie crust, smoothing out the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
• Once ready to serve, top with a thin layer of whipped cream and one REESE'S Cup per slice of pie. You can also garnish with chocolate curls and/or chocolate sauce, if desired.

MILE-HIGH PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE PIE

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.
