Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 10-inch springform baking pan with parchment paper, spray with cooking spray; set pan aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, sugar, cocoa, salt, and heat on high power to melt, about 45 seconds. Stop to stir, and heat in 10-second bursts until mixture has melted and can be stirred smooth (mine took 45 seconds + 15 seconds). Batter will be very granular.
Add the vanilla, eggs, and stir vigorously until batter is thick, shiny, and well blended. Add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake until a toothpick in the center emerges slightly moist with batter, about 15-18 minutes. Check with a toothpick – you should come out with moist crumbs, not batter. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Microwave the heavy cream for 45 seconds in a measuring cup. Add the chocolate and peanut butter and let stand for 2 minutes, and then stir until the mixture is completely smooth. Pour evenly over the brownie layer and place pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
Remove brownie layer from fridge and top with softened ice cream. Spread evenly over. Garnish with peanuts and peanut butter cups. Place in the freezer for 2 hours before serving.
