My mom has been known to wake up in the middle of the night and eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with milk. This here is the same mom who orders chocolate mouse before the meal so she has room for dessert. I mean come on, who wants to have to stuff it in after a big dinner?! I agree and have the same taste and turned our love for PB&J into a cool cake you can eat before the meal (my mommy said so :-).
Peanut Butter and Jelly Slice
Servings
10 Servings
Ingredients
- 8 chocolate graham crackers
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 16.3-ounce jar creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 13-ounce jar cherry or strawberry jam
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until turned into fine crumbs. In a small bowl, combine crumbs with butter and stir until the mixture begins to come together.
- Grease a 5×10-inch loaf pan and add graham cracker mixture, pressing down with your hands to form an even compact layer.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese and peanut butter and mix until smooth and combined. Add sugar and vanilla and mix well. Carefully spread peanut butter mixture on top of graham cracker crust in an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes. Spread an even layer of jam across the top of peanut butter mixture, cover and freeze at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Remove from freezer 30 minutes before serving and refrigerate. Slice into 10 slices and remove with a spatula. Serve immediately.
I am told there is a problem in Firfexo with printing but that other browsers do work – can you try another browser?
can u tell me why i can’t print the recipes? ever since u changed the format only the first pages prints 🙁
yes sure!
cool! hope they do!
Could I substitute the cream cheese with tofutti cream cheese?
I will have to make some of these for the ladies I work with one night. They would love something like this.
That should work.
Would this work with Toffuti’s dairy-free cream cheese or is that not recommended?
