I did use an off brand PB2, my mom has it for her healthy recipes. My brother has the strangest taste buds, he can eat several candy bars a day, but our homemade sweets are too sweet.The Rose-Tree Dryad wrote:That peanut butter whipped cream sounds so tasty, SA! Especially combined with chocolate. I wonder if you could cut down on the richness by using something like PB2 (essentially defatted powdered peanuts, popular with dieting peanut butter addicts) instead. I did see a recipe the other day for greek yogurt whipped cream, but I haven't had a chance to try that yet.
It was a chocolate/peanut butter mix, so next time I think I should use just plain peanut butter powder and maybe add peanut butter to the pie for a stronger flavor.
I haven't been baking much lately, but my siblings and I have been making strawberry jam. We have made 15 batches for a total of 7.5 gallons. The jam shelves are full. We made one batch of mix berry and one of strawberry/rhubarb with fresh rhubarb (not our own though). My younger brother was so excited to help make the jam, he loves homemade jam and he really enjoys helping cut and crush the strawberries. I had a blast balancing helping make the jam and photographing my siblings working together in the kitchen.
