Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 60 grams all-purpose flour
• 15 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 80 grams creamy peanut butter
• 50 grams powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 120 milliliters heavy cream (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
• 6 fresh strawberries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pie is set around the edges but slightly gooey in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before serving.

Step 9

For the peanut butter sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Add a few more drops of milk if needed to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 10

Slice the pie and drizzle each slice with the peanut butter sauce.

Step 11

If desired, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and use as a garnish. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added crunch and serve with fresh strawberries on the side.
