Ingredients
  • Chocolate chip crust:
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (4.5 ounces) light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (1.85 ounces) sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cups (5.95 ounces) all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (.10 ounces) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (.10 ounces) salt
  • ¾ cup (5.0 ounces) chocolate chips
  • Peanut butter topping:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (8.85 ounces) peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
  • ½ cup (2.25 ounces) confectioners sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • Chocolate drizzle:
  • 8 ounces chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
  1. For the chocolate chip crust:
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9" baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. Place the butter, brown sugar and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Beat until creamy, scraping the bowl down periodically. Add the egg and vanilla. Blend in the dry ingredients. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Spread it evenly in the pan.
  5. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and score the crust with a knife. Do not cut all the way through the crust. Cool completely.
  6. For the peanut butter topping:
  7. Place the cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla and cream into a large mixing bowl. Beat until blended together.
  8. Use a metal spatula to go around the edge of the baking pan. Cover the pan with a cooling rack and turn it upside down. Lift off the pan and remove the parchment paper. Invert the cake onto a cake serving plate.
  9. Scoop the peanut butter topping onto the crust, 2 tablespoons at a time.
  10. For the chocolate drizzle:
  11. Combine the chocolate and cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave until most of the chocolate has melted. Stir until all of the chocolate is melted and the mixture is blended.
  12. Transfer the chocolate to a quart size plastic freezer bag. Seal the bag and cut a small piece off of one of the bottom corners.
  13. Drizzle the chocolate all over the top of the pizza.
