Peanut Butter Parfaits in Jars
Easy, no-bake peanut butter parfaits in jars! A simple and delicious dessert idea!
Howdy! How are you today? Things here are pretty good! Busy as always, but I’m finding myself distracted with a big trip I’m taking next week…I’m going to the SNAP blogging conference in Thanksgiving Point, Utah. My very first conference. And I can’t even tell you how nervous I am. And the silliest thing…I’m mostly worried about what I’m going to wear. Yep, I said it. I’m worried about what I’m going to wear!
Which I guess is all wrapped up in the worries of whether anyone will like me, let alone talk to me. Will anyone recognize my blog? What will I say if I have the chance to meet Kate of Centsational Girl, or Heather of Whipperberry, or Shelley of House of Smiths…gah. I get a sick feeling even just thinking about it! Crazy, I know. But this is all kind of out of my box, but it will be good for me and I just know that it’s going to be a blast!
But I’m still nervous. And ice cream calms my nerves. Ice cream with peanut butter soothes my soul.
So I made some. Well kind of.
Peanut Butter Parfaits in a Jar!
The thing that makes this dish out-of-this-world-delicious, is the peanut butter fluff. Omg.
These are so fun too, because you can make them ahead of time, one for everyone, and you’ve got a delicious dessert! Or you have 6 servings you can eat all by yourself over 6 days. Just sayin.
Peanut Butter Parfaits in Jars
Easy, no-bake peanut butter parfaits in jars! A simple and delicious dessert idea!
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar (confectioners)
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
- cups ~ 2 of really good chocolate ice cream (buy the good stuff)
- chopped peanuts (or crushed peanut brittle for the topping)
Instructions
- Whip the cream and sugar, until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a different bowl.
- Then whip the peanut butter until it’s nice and smooth.
- Add the whipping cream to the peanut butter, and stir by hand until combined.
- Use 6 – 250 mL mason jars, and put a good sized scoop of chocolate ice cream in the bottom of each jar.
- On top of the chocolate ice cream, evenly distribute the peanut butter mixture between the 6 jars. (See Notes)
- Garnish with the chopped peanuts or crushed peanut brittle.
- Freeze until you are ready to eat them.
Notes
If you want, you can add a small scoop of the peanut butter mixture to the bottom of the jars, then the ice cream, then the remainder of the peanut butter mixture. Yum.
