Peanut Butter Dream Brownies
Peanut Butter Dream Brownies- – Fudgy brownies with a creamy peanut butter filling and a smooth chocolate topping. They are in fact, a dream!
This little baking blog is just about 6 months old. Just 6. This is the 5th brownie recipe that I’ve shared. Eek!
I hope you guys don’t mind. Honestly, I just really love brownies.
They are yummy, fudgy and extremely versatile. You can dress them up or eat them plain. Either way, they are crazy good.
These brownies are dressed up with a peanut butter filling and chocolate topping. Crazy good.
How to Make Your Dream Brownies:
- First, make your brownies. Let them cool completely.
- Make the filling: You will need two mixing bowls for this. The first is to beat the whipping cream. Beat it until stiff peaks form..this should take about 5 minutes. The second mixing bowl is for the peanut butter/cream cheese mixture. Be sure your cream cheese is softened. Once everything is complete, you will fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Don’t stir. Fold gently.
- Spread this on top of your cooled brownies. Refrigerate to set for an hour.
- Make the topping: Heat whipping cream just until it starts to boil. Keep a close eye on it…it can burn quickly. Once it’s ready, add in the chocolate chips and corn syrup. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes to get it nice and melty. Remove lid and stir until smooth.
- Spread this on top of the set peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate again, for at least an hour to set before serving.
A few notes:
- Below is my go-to brownie recipe. Feel free to use your favorite recipe (for a 9 x 13 pan) or even use a boxed mix. Whatever works best for you.
- After adding the chocolate topping, you should refrigerate to set for at least an hour before serving. However, you can leave it in the fridge longer, even overnight, if needed.
- When cutting, spray the knife with a bit of non stick cooking spray beforehand. It will make a cleaner cut.
