My mom makes a version of this recipe for my birthday every year. We used to go to a restaurant in Pa called Rachel’s which this pie tastes just like.  My birthday is coming up and I no longer live close to home so I decided to make it for myself this year. I did not end up making the crust she generally makes a oatmeal no bake crust.  You can shave some chocolate on the top or place some roasted chopped peanuts for an added texture & topping.  I prefer to place it in portion controlled contains so I do not eat the whole thing. Also this way you can share to many or have a dinner party and everyone will love the fact you made them their own personal dessert. My boyfriend and I started doing mason jars desserts during covid to avoid multiple people touching or breathing around desserts.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup of Heavy Cream

1 Teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup of granulated sugar

8 ounce of cream cheese (room temperature) 

1 cup of your favorite smooth peanut butter

1 cup of confectionary sugar

—Optional for topping, roasted chopped peanuts, or broken peanut brittle pieces on the top

1. Whip up the first 3 ingredients (heavy cream, extract, granulated sugar) into a mixing bowl with whipping attachment. Whip until peaks form. 

2. In a separate bowl mix together the soft cream cheese, peanut butter, and confectionary sugar until all items are married together (looks similar to frosting consistency). 

3. Fold in the whipped cream until smooth. 

4. Placed the batter in a large sealable ziplock bag, cut a small piece off one the the tips and fill approximately 112g of the filling into each 4 oz mason jar to yield 12 jars, Or divide the batter however you’d like. For best results seal with mason jar lid and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours before you indulge. 

You can make this vegan by using full fat cold coconut milk (canned) & vegan cream cheese. If there is a peanut butter allergy in the family, you can use any smooth nut butter.

To make low carb substitutions would be swerve sweetener granulated sugar (or equivalent ands swerve confectionary sugar replacement equal parts.
