Ingredients

1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup warm water
1 (12-ounce) jar seedless strawberry jam
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 pre-baked (9 or 10-inch) pie shell
Roasted peanuts, for garnish

Directions

Sprinkle gelatin over the water to soften and let stand for 5 minutes. Over very low heat, warm the mixture in a small saucepan, just until gelatin is dissolved. Do not boil.

In the work bowl of a food processor, add jam and process to break up the chunks. Add gelatin mixture and process until smooth.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Very gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.

To assemble the pie: Add 1/3 of the jam mixture to the bottom of the pie crust, spreading with a spatula to smooth. Add half of the peanut butter mixture evenly over top. Top with another 1/3 of the jam mixture. Add the last half of the peanut butter mixture. Using the back of a spoon, make dips and swirls in the top mixture. Drizzle the remaining jam in and around the swirls in a decorative manner. Add small groups of roasted peanuts to the top, in and around the peanut butter swirls and in the jam. Chill for several hours before serving.

PB&J Pie... Yuck
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

First of all, the volume of contents was much too much for the pie shell. Additionally, the flavor of peanut butter was... marginal. Perhaps a little less cool whip (by 1/3) and a tad more pb. In any event -- I had an oozing mess when I poured layer 2 of jelly onto the pie -- and never was able to add the rest of the pb mixture in any kind of pattern, never mind her suggestion of swirls.Read more
