Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cup REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate (for topping)
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced
  • 4 fresh strawberries, sliced

    • Instructions:

    Preparing the Brownie Base

  • Preheat Your Oven and Prepare Your Pan: First things first, let’s get our oven ready. Preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). For this pizza, we need a sturdy, yet easily removable base. I like to use a 9-inch round pizza pan or a similar-sized cake pan. To ensure our brownie base doesn’t stick, it’s crucial to grease it thoroughly. You can use butter or cooking spray. For extra insurance and to make removal a breeze, I highly recommend lining the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit the bottom of your pan, and then lightly grease the sides of the pan as well. This step might seem minor, but it will save you a lot of potential heartbreak when it’s time to serve your masterpiece.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the 1 1/4 cups of REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate. This is the star ingredient that brings that incredible, rich peanut butter chocolate flavor right into our brownie base. Now, crack in your two large eggs. The eggs are essential for binding the ingredients together and giving the brownie its characteristic chewy texture. Whisk these two ingredients together vigorously until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth and glossy. You want to make sure there are no streaks of egg yolk or white visible. This will create a wonderfully moist and fudgy brownie base.
  • Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Now it’s time to add our dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Add the 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour to the bowl. The flour acts as the structure for our brownie. Make sure you measure it accurately by spooning it into your measuring cup and leveling it off with a straight edge; don’t scoop directly from the bag as this can lead to too much flour, resulting in a drier brownie. Next, add the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Salt might seem like an odd addition to a sweet dessert, but it plays a vital role in enhancing all the other flavors, especially the chocolate and peanut butter, by balancing the sweetness and adding depth. Gently fold or whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this stage. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to a tougher brownie. A few small streaks of flour are okay; they’ll disappear during baking. The batter will be thick and luscious.
  • Bake the Brownie Base: Pour the brownie batter evenly into your prepared pizza pan. Use a spatula to spread it out so that it covers the bottom of the pan in an even layer. This is important for consistent baking. Now, carefully place the pan into your preheated oven. We’re going to bake this for about 20 to 25 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on your oven, so keep an eye on it. You’re looking for the edges to be set and slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan, and the center should be mostly set but still have a slight fudgy give when gently touched. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crum extractbs attached, not wet batter. It’s better to underbake slightly than overbake, as the brownie will continue to cook a bit as it cools. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling step is absolutely crucial. Trying to add toppings to a warm brownie base will result in a melty, messy situation, and we want distinct layers of flavor and texture.

    • Assembling Your Pizza Masterpiece

  • Add the Peanut Butter Topping and Fruit: Once your brownie base has cooled completely (this is super important!), it’s time to transform it into a pizza. Gently spread the remaining 1/3 cup of REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate evenly over the surface of the cooled brownie. You can warm it up slightly in the microwave for a few seconds if it’s too stiff to spread easily, but be careful not to melt it completely. You want a creamy layer. Then, arrange your sliced banana and sliced strawberries attractively over the peanut butter layer. Get creative with your fruit placement! I like to create a pattern, but a random scattering looks just as delicious. The fresh fruit adds a lovely contrast in texture and a burst of freshness that cuts through the richness of the brownie and peanut butter.
  • Final Touches and Serving: For an extra touch of indulgence, you can drizzle a little extra melted chocolate or peanut butter over the fruit, or even sprinkle some chocolate chips or chopped peanuts on top if you have them on hand. Slice your Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Pizza into wedges, just like a regular pizza, and serve immediately. This dessert is best enjoyed fresh, where the brownie is still wonderfully fudgy and the fruit is bright and vibrant. Prepare for rave reviews – this is guaranteed to be a showstopper!

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Can I make the brownie batter ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the brownie batter up to 24 hours in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before spreading it onto your pizza crust.

    What kind of pizza crust works best?

    A pre-made refrigerated pizza crust or a homemade pizza dough recipe works wonderfully. The key is to ensure it’s sturdy enough to hold the brownie batter without becoming soggy. Some folks even use a thick, cookie-like crust for an extra sweet base.

    Is it possible to make this recipe dairy-free or gluten-free?

    Yes, with a few substitutions! You can use a dairy-free brownie mix or recipe and swap dairy chocolate for dairy-free chocolate chips. For gluten-free, opt for a gluten-free brownie mix or a gluten-free flour blend in your homemade recipe, and use a gluten-free pizza crust.
