Baking sheet

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the brownie batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until glossy and slightly thickened.

In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined. Do not overmix.

Step 2: Bake the brownie rounds

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Spoon small circles (about 2–3 tablespoons each) of batter onto the tray, spreading them into thin rounds (like pancakes). Leave space between each.

Bake for 8–10 minutes until set but still soft.

Step 3: Shape into taco shells

While still warm (this is important!), gently lift each brownie round and drape it over a rolling pin, bottle, or the edge of a bowl to form a taco shape.

Let them cool completely so they hold their shape.

Step 4: Make the peanut butter filling

In a bowl, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract.

Fold in whipped cream gently until light and fluffy.

Step 5: Assemble the tacos

Pipe or spoon the peanut butter filling into each brownie shell.

Add your favorite toppings like chocolate chips, peanuts, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel.

🍽️ Formation & Presentation

Arrange the tacos standing upright on a serving plate. You can dust lightly with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate for a bakery-style finish. For extra flair, serve them in a taco holder or lined tray.
