Peanut Butter Jelly Fritters Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Using the lid of a wide mouth mason jar, carve out rounds into both slices of bread, remove the crusts.
• Spread peanut butter evenly across one side of one of the rounds and spread jelly evenly across one side of the other round.
• Place peanut butter round and jelly round together to create the "body" of the spider.
• Place 4 pretzel sticks into the left side of the sandwich and 4 pretzel sticks into the right side, creating the "spider legs."
• Place raisins on the sandwich to create the "eyes."
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook until the berries have started to break down into a thick sauce, 10-15 minutes.
• Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). To test the oil temperature, add a couple drops of pancake batter; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
• Spread the peanut butter over 2 slices of bread. Spread the jelly over the remaining 2 slices of bread. Sandwich the peanut butter and jelly halves together.
• Coat each sandwich in the pancake batter. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
• Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal. Place on a plate, pour the strawberry syrup on top, and dust with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit into a 5-inch (12.7 cm) circle.
• Spread the peanut butter in the center of 2 biscuits and add the jelly to the center of the remaining 2 biscuits.
• Use a pastry brush or your fingers to lightly dampen the edges of the biscuits with water; then fold the peanut butter biscuits over the jelly biscuits and press the edges together to seal well.
• Use a 4-inch cutter to punch out the center of the biscuit sandwiches, making sure the edges are still sealed well. Discard the dough scraps.
• Refrigerate the sandwiches for 30 minutes.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of ghee in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and crusty. Flip, add the remaining butter, and cook for 3-4 minutes more, until golden brown and crusty.
• Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut each biscuit into 4 equal sections and roll each into a small ball between your hands.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil to about 350˚F (180˚C).
• Fry doughnut holes in batches for 3-5 minutes, or until golden on all sides.
• Allow doughnut holes to cool and prepare jelly in piping bag with small circular tip.
• Inject each doughnut with roughly 1 teaspoon of jelly, or until filled.
• In a small bowl, combine melted butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Whisk together until smooth.
• Dip each hole into the glaze, or warm the glaze slightly in the microwave and pour over each hole.
• Allow glaze to set.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Make the crust: Grease a 7-inch (17 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
• Add the graham crackers to a food processor and process until broken down into coarse crumbs.
• Add the peanuts and brown sugar to the food processor with the graham cracker crumbs and grind into fine crumbs.
• Add the melted butter and peanut butter to the food processor and pulse until well combined, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared springform pan and, using your hands, press the crust in an even layer against the bottom and about 1 inch (2.54 cm) up the sides of the pan.
• Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with 2 layers of foil, going about halfway up the sides. This will prevent water from leaking into the pan when placed in the water bath.
• Make the filling: Add the cream cheese to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, about 3 minutes.
• Add the sugar and beat for another 3-5 minutes, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the sour cream and beat to incorporate. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating between each addition. When the eggs are well incorporated, beat in the vanilla and lemon juice. Fold in the freeze-dried strawberries.
• Pour the filling into the crust.
• Place the springform pan in an 11-inch (27 cm) round pan or roasting pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform, being careful not to splash any onto the cheesecake. Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. The center of the cheesecake should still jiggle slightly when you shake the pan.
• Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool.
• Carefully remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let cool at room temperature for another hour, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Make the candied peanuts: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large, nonstick skillet, combine the water, sugar, and peanuts. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the sugar has caramelized and browned and the nuts are evenly coated, 10-15 minutes.
• Spread the candied peanuts on the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until safe to handle, then break apart with your hands into bite-size pieces.
• Once the cheesecake has chilled, use a knife or offset spatula to loosen the cheesecake from the rim of the pan, then release the springform. Transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter.
• Using an offset spatula, spread the melted strawberry preserves over the top of the cheesecake. Top with the fresh strawberries and candied peanuts.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add 1 cup flour; mix well. Let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolks, sugar and salt; mix well. Beat in butter and remaining flour. Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes., Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 35 minutes., In a deep-fat fryer or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Drain on paper towels. , Cool for 2-3 minutes; cut a small slit with a sharp knife on 1 side of each doughnut. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry bag; insert a very small round tip. Fill bag with jelly. Fill each doughnut with about 1 teaspoon jelly. , In a small bowl, beat peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and salt until smooth. Gradually beat in enough whipping cream to reach desired glaze consistency. Dip doughnuts in frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
• Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, peanut butter, egg and vanilla.
• Lightly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; the batter will be fairly thick.
• Pour enough oil into a small, deep saucepan to reach a depth of 1 1/2 inches and heat over medium-high heat until the oil registers 310 degrees on a deep-fry or candy thermometer.
• Working in 3 or 4 batches, drop the batter by rounded teaspoons into the hot oil and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters to paper towels to drain.
• Keep the fritters in the oven as you continue frying.
• Serve hot with the whipped cream and jam.
• Tip: Keep the oil temperature 310 degrees to keep the fritters light, not greasy.

Steps:

• For the sorbet, feel free to use store-bought, or make your own: Place the strawberries in a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the strawberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard the pips.
• Bloom the gelatin sheet by soaking it in a small bowl of cold water until softened, about 2 minutes.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, gently heat a small amount of the strained strawberry puree. Add the sugar, glucose, salt, and citric acid and whisk to combine.
• Next, gently squeeze the bloomed gelatin to remove any excess water. If the gelatin still has hard bits to it, it needs to bloom longer. If it is so soft it is falling apart, it is over bloomed; discard the gelatin and start over. Once bloomed, add the gelatin to the pot and whisk until fully dissolved.
• Pour the heated strawberry mixture to the reserved strawberry puree and whisk to combine.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. The sorbet is best spun just before serving or using, but will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• Make the peanut butter cream: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy. Add half of the peanut butter and beat to combine. Scrape down the bowl, then add the rest of the peanut butter and mix to incorporate. Add the powdered sugar in 2 additions, adding the salt to the final addition.
• Add the vanilla to half of the heavy cream. With the mixer on medium speed, stream the vanilla cream into the peanut butter mixture and whip until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• In separate large bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
• Fold a large scoop of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined, followed by the remaining whipped cream. Fold until light and fluffy.
• Assemble the loaf: Grease the loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with plastic wrap.
• Layer 4 slices of cinnamon raisin bread across the bottom of the pan in a single layer. Trim the edges if necessary to perfectly fill the entire base of the pan.
• Spread ¼ of the peanut butter cream, about 1 cup (240 g), into the pan and smooth out to create a flat, even layer. Place pan into the freezer to firm up, about 5 minutes.
• Once the peanut butter layer is set, spread half of the softened strawberry sorbet across in an even layer.
• Follow the sorbet with another cup of the peanut butter cream and layer in 4 more slices of cinnamon raisin bread, trimming to fit. Spread 1 cup of peanut butter cream over the bread and return to the freezer to let firm up, another 5 minutes.
• Once the peanut butter layer is set, spread the remaining softened strawberry sorbet across in an even layer, followed by the final cup of the peanut butter cream. Top the loaf with 4 more slices of cinnamon raisin bread in a single, seamless layer and return loaf to freezer and let set up completely, about 25 minutes.
• Remove the loaf from pan, peel off the plastic wrap, and slice to serve.
• Enjoy!
