PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY ON GRAHAM CRACKERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust. Place in the refrigerator to harden.
• Meanwhile, combine cream cheese and 1 cup peanut butter in a medium bowl for filling; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• Combine heavy cream, 1 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, adding more powdered sugar, if necessary. Remove 1 1/2 cups whipped cream mixture to a small bowl and place in the refrigerator. Gently fold the rest into the peanut butter mixture with a large spoon or spatula. Pour 1/2 of the peanut butter filling into the pie crust and place in the freezer until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove pie from the freezer and spread 1/4 cup grape jam in a thin layer on top, being careful not to disturb the peanut butter filling. Pour remaining peanut butter filling on top and spread evenly with a spatula. Place in the freezer until filling has hardened, about 15 minutes.
• Place remaining peanut butter and remaining jam for the topping in 2 small microwave-safe bowls. Microwave until melted, 15 to 20 seconds. Transfer each to a small plastic bag.
• Spread remaining whipped cream mixture over the top of the pie. Cut a very small corner from each plastic bag and squeeze gently to drizzle peanut butter and jam over the top of the pie. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Spoon the ice cream into the mixing bowl. Soften it by leaving the ice cream out on the counter for 10 minutes. Mix the peanut butter into the ice cream with the rubber spatula. Line the baking dish with waxed paper and spread the peanut butter- ice cream mixture on the waxed paper. Cover the mixture with another sheet of waxed paper, and then put the mixture in the freezer for 20 to 45 minutes, or until solid. Turn the frozen mixture out onto the cutting board, and peel off the waxed paper. Use the chef’s knife to cut the mixture into nine squares the same size as the graham crackers you’re using. With the table knife, spread the jam or jelly on a graham cracker, add a square of peanut butter-ice cream mixture, and top with another graham cracker. Put each finished sandwich in the freezer immediately, so it doesn’t melt before you’ve made them all. You can also wrap each PB&J Ice Cream Sandwich in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag in the freezer.
