Brownie Lover’s Peanut Butter Pizza (Print Version)

Chocolate brownie base layered with peanut butter frosting, candies, and a rich chocolate drizzle.

# Ingredients:

→ Brownie Base

01 - 7 oz dark chocolate, chopped
02 - 10.5 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 1 cup granulated sugar
04 - 3 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Peanut Butter Frosting

09 - 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
10 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
11 - 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
12 - 1 to 3 tablespoons milk
13 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings

14 - Chopped peanut butter cups
15 - Chocolate chips
16 - Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
17 - Chocolate syrup or ganache
18 - Optional: chopped peanuts

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a round pizza pan or line with parchment paper.
02 - Combine chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and melt together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
03 - Whisk granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated after each addition.
04 - Mix in vanilla extract. Gently fold in all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
05 - Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
06 - Remove brownie base from oven and allow to cool in the pan until fully cooled.
07 - Beat creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until incorporated. Blend in vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve a thick, spreadable consistency.
08 - Spread peanut butter frosting evenly over the cooled brownie base.
09 - Drizzle the top with chocolate syrup or ganache. Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, and crushed cookies evenly over the surface. Optionally, add chopped peanuts.
10 - Cut into wedges as you would a traditional pizza. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the brownie base is completely cooled before adding frosting to prevent melting. Adjust milk amount in frosting for spreadability.
