Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until fully combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Assembly
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Once the brownies have cooled, spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the top.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer. Allow everything to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and do not overbake the brownies to maintain a fudgy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze individually for up to three months.
