Instructions

Prepare the brownie batter by mixing the brownie mix with the eggs, oil, and water as indicated. Pour the batter into your pie dish and bake for the time specified on the box. Allow it to cool completely.
  2. Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Mousse - In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter. Beat until smooth. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and continue mixing until creamy.
  3. Step 3: Whip the Cream - In another bowl, pour the cold heavy whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks form.
  4. Step 4: Fold the Whipped Cream - Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a rubber spatula.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the Pie - Spread the peanut butter mousse evenly over the cooled brownie base. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
  6. Step 6: Garnish and Serve - Garnish with shaved chocolate and whipped cream if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
