Peanut Butter Dream
If your kids want something cold you are in luck. You can make these options. They all can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for days. These are way better for you than commercial ice cream and have the same kind of decadent feeling in your mouth. Save these recipes for your next dinner party too! Adults love this stuff! French Chocolate Silk and Peanut Butter Dream.
One last one: If you have a food processor you can always whip up a batch of what I call "Smoosh". It’s just like a frozen snow cone without the paper cone. Kids and adults both love this stuff. Some tell me they are never going back to ice cream after eating this stuff. They get the same satisfaction and no sugar.
I hope this sets you up for the school year. My goal is to see the lives of children changed by changing their eating habits and it starts with those of us who pay for the food.
Peanut Butter Dream
Think peanut butter chiffon pie without the crust. For a low carb diet this is perfect. I have made it for guests a few times. The servings I gave out were generous and I figured no one would finish. Ha. Everyone snarfed up every bit. Served in a pretty glass (I use antique champagne saucers) or a fun, tiny bowl, this is perfect for a party. People love the fact that it’s so light and yet decadent. This can be kept in a covered bowl and doled out after school in small portions. Just put the plastic wrap right on top of the mixture so it doesn’t get a thickened ‘skin’ on it.
Serves 4 to 6 depending on size of serving you decide on.
Ingredients:
8 oz of cream cheese (softened)
3-4 packets of Truvia
1 cup of smooth peanut butter. I use organic peanut butter that is emulsified and unsweetened.
3 cups of whipped topping. TruWhip is one brand you can use. Or you can whip your own cream and use that.
Unsweeetened cocoa powder for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
Load a medium bowl with the cream cheese, Truvia and peanut butter. Whiz until blended. Then add your whipped cream or the TruWhip. Whip again until it’s all mixed. Put into your pretty serving dishes and put in the refrigerator covered (I just use little pieces of plastic wrap to cover them). Remove covers when you want to serve and dust with the cocoa powder. You’re all set for a fancy party. It’s also great to eat all by yourself while watching TV. If you have them, you can even serve this with demitasse spoons to make the experience take longer. Small spoonfuls. Listen for the moaning at the table. You’ll hear it. I promise.
I recommend you make this the afternoon you serve it. Leftovers do well in the refrigerator for a few days. They never last long in my house.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
