Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam

Steps:

  • For the brownies: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, pressing it into the corners and up the sides; leave an overhang on 2 sides. Butter the foil and dust with flour. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the bittersweet chocolate and cook, stirring constantly, until mostly melted. Remove from the heat and continue to stir until the chocolate is completely melted.

PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES



Peanut Butter Brownies image

Joanna Gaines of Magnolia Table in Waco, Texas, developed this recipe for a layered treat that combines the best of a brownie, a candy bar and an ice cream sandwich. The fudgy texture of brownies makes a perfect base for peanut butter and a fluffy chocolate topping. You can use a different chocolate frosting or glaze for the top layer, depending on what ingredients you have on hand.

Time 45m

Yield 24 servings (1 9-by-13-inch baking pan)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cooking spray
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1/3 cup/30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (16-ounce/455 gram) jar creamy peanut butter

10 large marshmallows (about 65 grams)
4 cups/500 grams confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup/80 milliliters whole milk
1/4 cup/25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Prepare the brownies: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch pan lightly with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the butter and cocoa over low heat until the butter melts, about 5 minutes. Whisk to combine then set aside to cool, 5 minutes.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar, flour and salt. Add the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs one by one, incorporating each before adding the next, then add the vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Let the brownies cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the topping: Add the peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until softened, about 15 seconds. Stir it well to distribute heat evenly then spread it in an even layer on top of the brownies. Freeze the brownies for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows over medium heat, stirring often, until both are melted and no lumps remain, about 5 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk and cocoa, and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Spread the frosting over the peanut butter layer and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the brownies from the pan: First, cut the brownies away from the pan edge on both short sides, then lift them out using the parchment paper handles. Cut into 24 squares. Keep refrigerated.
