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 in order 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
I’m addicted to this right now. This is too delicious!! You are a genius 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
