Layers of ready-made brownie topped with a peanut butter cream cheese, garnished with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. An easy cold dessert that brings together chocolate and peanut butter flavors in one piece, fitting for hosting and gatherings.
A cold dessert from global kitchens, putting together a ready brownie base with a creamy layer of cheese and peanut butter.
It became popular for hosting thanks to its rich taste and simple preparation.
Line a square pan with parchment paper and grease it with a little butter according to the instructions on the ready brownie mix. Prepare the mix according to the instructions on the box, then pour it into the pan. Place it in the oven at the temperature and time shown on the box, then take the brownie out and let it cool completely before the next step.
Place the cream cheese at room temperature in the mixer bowl and beat it on medium speed until it becomes fluffy and smooth. Pause now and then to scrape down the sides with a spoon and keep beating.
Add the cup of peanut butter to the cream cheese and keep beating on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and releases its signature aroma.
Sprinkle the cup of icing sugar over the mixture slowly while continuing to beat until it becomes smooth and completely even. Place the mixture in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for a full hour so it sets before spreading.
Take the cream cheese mixture out of the refrigerator and spread it with a wide spoon over the cooled brownie layer, distributing it evenly. Garnish the top with the cup of whipped cream and drizzle the ready chocolate sauce over it in lines. Serve the brownie cold straight from the refrigerator.
The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises blood sugar, while the glycemic load (GL) measures how much a full serving raises it. Together they give the complete picture.
A low value (≤55) means a gradual rise in blood sugar — the most suitable range for diabetes and insulin resistance.
Glycemic load reflects the impact of the full serving. To lower it: take half a serving, or pair the recipe with a source of protein and fiber.
* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet per FDA food-label reference values — your daily needs may be higher or lower. Values are derived from the recipe's ingredients via the USDA database.
The most common problems when preparing Peanut Butter Brownie, and how to fix them:
