Peanut Butter Tiramisu Recipes

PB&J TIRAMISU

Steps:

• tBeat the peanut butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and 1/2 cup cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup cream and beat until creamy, about 2 more minutes. (Do not overbeat.)
• Whisk the jam, framboise and 1/3 cup water in a bowl until smooth. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the jam mixture in a 9-by-5-inch glass loaf pan. Cover with half of the ladyfingers, arranging them lengthwise. Brush with half of the remaining jam mixture. (Don't worry if it looks like a lot of liquid; the ladyfingers will absorb it as the tiramisu sits.)
• Spread half of the peanut butter cream over the ladyfingers. Top with 2 cups raspberries and the remaining ladyfingers. Brush the ladyfingers with the remaining jam mixture and spread the remaining peanut butter cream on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
• Uncover the tiramisu and top with the remaining 2 cups raspberries and shaved chocolate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

PB AND J TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the hot water and instant espresso powder and stir until dissolved. Set aside. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Bring a saucepan with 2 inches of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. In a bowl that fits comfortably over the pan without touching the water, add the bourbon, sugar and egg yolks and whisk until combined. Place the bowl over the simmering water and heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is tripled in size and a ribbon is left in the mixture when you raise the whisk and drizzle the mixture on itself, about 8 minutes. (You can also use a handheld mixer on medium speed for this step.) Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to whisk for an additional minute to start to cool it down. Add the mascarpone, peanut butter, vanilla and salt and continue to whisk until well incorporated. When the mixture is smooth and slightly cooled, switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold in the reserved whipped cream. Set aside.
• One at a time, dip 6 of the ladyfingers into the espresso; do not let them sit and soak in the espresso--just a quick dip. Break each one in half and fit 2 halves on the bottom of each of six 6-ounce coffee cups or ramekins. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the peanut butter mixture over the ladyfingers in each coffee cup and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Spoon a scant tablespoon of the jam over the peanut butter mixture in each and spread evenly. Repeat with an additional layer of the ladyfingers, followed by a layer of the peanut butter mixture. Using a rasp grater, grate the chocolate evenly over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.

PEANUT BUTTER TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Gently toss sliced bananas with rum in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together thawed whipped topping and peanut butter.
• Arrange ladyfingers bottom side up on a serving platter into four rows of three. Brush arranged ladyfingers with a generous amount of the espresso or coffee.
• Spread half of the peanut butter mixture evenly over the top of the arranged ladyfingers, then top with the bananas.
• Brush bottoms of remaining ladyfingers with espresso or coffee, then arrange on banana layer, top side up. Spread remaining peanut butter mixture evenly over top and sides of tiramisu, then sprinkle with cocoa powder.
• Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. If desired, sprinkle each serving with more cocoa powder.
