This Brownie Bottom Peanut Butter Cream Pie is the perfect combination of a decadent chocolate brownie base with a light, fluffy and delicious peanut butter cream topping. And the best part is it is so easy to make!

I am so excited to share this recipe with you because it has my two favorite dessert flavors; chocolate and peanut butter! My family loves this dessert, it is literally gone in a snap!

What makes this recipe unique is that it does not contain cream cheese, and yet you would swear it does! It is so light and fluffy, with a slight flavour that mimics cream cheese.

This Brownie Bottom Peanut Butter Cream Pie is a recipe I modified from one called “Drumstick Cake”, which was handed down from my mother in law. Stay tuned for a future post of that original version! While that version has an Oreo Cookie Crumb base and uses cream cheese, this version has a moist and delicious brownie base and does not use cream cheese. Both are delicious!

How To Make Brownie Bottom Peanut Butter Cream Pie

This peanut butter cream pie topping is so super simple and using a package brownie mix makes it extra easy! You can choose to make your own brownie recipe for the base or use my Homemade Brownies recipe!

1. Begin by baking a boxed brownie mix in a 9″ springform pan according to package directions.
2. While the brownie cools, prepare the peanut butter cream topping.
3. Whip the peanut butter, sour cream, mayonnaise and vanilla with a stand mixer or hand blender until creamy.
4. Gradually add in the powdered sugar.
5. Fold in the cool whip, and pour over the brownie base. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour before serving.
6. Slice and garnish as you like!

I love to serve this dessert garnished with a combination of chocolate sauce, crushed peanuts, cool whip or whipped cream. Other great toppings would be crushed M & M’s in colors for different seasons; red and green for Christmas or pastel colors for Easter! Or you can sprinkle with Oreo crumbs, or heat up peanut butter and drizzle on top! The possibilities are endless!

How Can You Store This Brownie Bottom Peanut Butter Cream Pie?

• This dessert should be stored in a refrigerator or a freezer. I actually prefer eating this with a tiny bit of frost still left in it because it reminds me of peanut butter ice cream!
• You can serve immediately from the refrigerator. Serve it naked or garnish however you like.
• If it is stored in the freezer, simply allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, then cut and serve.

I love how versatile this dessert is! It is perfect for any time of year, any occasion and you can make it ahead of time and store it in the freezer to enjoy at a later date. I would strongly recommend cutting it into slices prior to freezing so you can remove only the servings you need, when you need them.

Another great tip or modification – if you want to have a stronger peanut butter flavour in the cream layer, use a small tub of cool whip instead of a large one. The resulting pie may not be as tall, but the peanut butter flavor will definitely be more intense.

I hope you have success making my version of this Brownie Bottom Peanut Butter Cream Pie! My family literally devours it and asks me to make it for them often!
