This dip is meant to be a once in a while treat. Please don’t mistake it for something that ought to be enjoyed by the spoonful on a rainy afternoon. What? No, I didn’t sit around eating a jar of this yummy-in-my-tummy peanut butter dip… while it rained outside. :)
What kind of girl do you take me for? I could have, though! No doubt about it. In fact, if you don’t have much for willpower, don’t make it. There, you have been warned; I can carry on with a clean conscience.
I created this recipe on a whim, and after taking a small taste test, I knew I had to use it up before I inhaled the whole jar. So I created my Raw Chocolate-Peanut Butter Truffle Cream Pie just to make sure that I didn’t fall to temptation. Phew, close call, but I saved myself. Errr, so I thought… have you seen that pie! Good-golly! What was I thinking? That was like putting salt on an open wound.
Anyway, this dip turned out incredibly creamy and decadent. You will need a high-powered blender to get it nice and smooth. If you wanted to extend this recipe, meaning giving it more volume, you could add a cup of Greek Nogurt to it, and it would be heavenly.
There are many ways to enjoy this dip; serve it with sliced apples, add a spoonful into a Thai-inspired peanut sauce, ice the top of a cupcake, dip bananas into it, serve over ice cream… I am positive that you won’t struggle with what to do with it once made. I hope you enjoy this simple recipe. Many blessings, amie sue

Couldn’t you replace the peanut butter with almond butter to make it a little healthier? I have sensitivity to peanuts, so I do almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
You could make it with any nut or seed butter… it will just change the taste, that’s all. :)
Okay now you’ve done it !! I’m going to HAVE to make this and the PIE :)
thanks so much for all these awesome recipes !
Guilty as charged! hehe Let me know what you think once you make it Grace. Have a wonderful evening, amie sue

So happy that you are enjoying it Soley. hehe Thank you commenting and have a glorious day. amie sue
Happy Thanksgiving Amie-Sue,
I want to make a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. Do you think I could add the peanut butter swirl in the batter instead of the top? If not, do you have another suggestion?
Many thanks, Michelle
Hello Michelle,
I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. May I ask (just curious) as to why you wouldn’t want to swirl it on top as indicated? Have a wonderful weekend, amie sue
Dear Amie Sue,
Do you use raw peanut butter? I made some right now, and the information regarding the use of raw peanuts is controversial.
Thank you,
Ioana
Good morning Ioana,
Most of the time I make my peanut butter with organic roasted peanuts. The only time I use raw is if I can my hands on raw jungle peanuts. The majority of people get their raw peanuts from bulk bins at the grocery store which I find questionable because you have no idea how long they have been sitting around and if they are the verge of going rancid. Blessings, amie sue
Is there anything you can use to replace dates? Please and thank you !
Not that I can think of. When dates are fully blended they get light in color and fluffy which is what gives this recipe the texture and consistency I was aiming form. blessings, amie sue
