Peanut Butter And Jelly Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse butter, sugar, and salt in a food processor until smooth, scraping bowl down once. Add flour and pulse just until mixture forms large clumps. Turn out onto very lightly floured parchment. Knead once or twice, then shape into a flat rectangle.
• Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top of dough and roll out to a 13-by-6-inch rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet. Fold edges in to create a 1/2-inch border; crimp so border is raised slightly less than 1/2 inch (final size of dough should be 12 by 5 inches). Prick all over with a fork. Freeze 20 minutes.
• Bake crust 15 minutes. Remove from oven; flatten center with the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake until pale golden, about 12 minutes more.
• Remove crust from oven and spread with peanut butter. Drizzle with jelly, then swirl it with a skewer. Bake until jelly just begins to bubble, 6 to 7 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Cut into wedges; let cool completely.

Steps:

• Make tart shell:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Blend graham crackers, peanuts, and allspice in a food processor until nuts are coarsely ground. Transfer to a bowl, then add butter, stirring until crumbs are thoroughly moistened. Firmly press crumbs evenly over bottom and up sides of tart pan.
• Bake shell until firm, about 10 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack.
• Make filling:
• Beat together cream cheese, peanut butter, and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar and beat until incorporated. Beat cream with vanilla in another bowl until it holds soft peaks, then fold into peanut butter mixture gently but thoroughly.
• Assemble tart:
• Spread 1/3 cup jam onto bottom of tart shell with offset spatula. Spread peanut butter mixture on top with cleaned offset spatula. Chill tart, loosely covered with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 3 hours.
• Just before serving, stir grapes with remaining 1/2 cup jam with a rubber spatula until coated. Spoon over tart.

Steps:

• First, make the pastry. Tip the flour, cocoa, butter and a pinch of salt into a food processor and blitz until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk, icing sugar and 2 tbsp cold water and blitz again until just starting to clump together. Tip onto your work surface (don't worry about washing the bowl), knead briefly into a smooth ball of dough, then flatten into a thick disc shape, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins.
• Add the remaining ingredients - except for the jam and the peanuts to serve - to the food processor and blitz until smooth and creamy. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Remove the pastry from the fridge and roll out to the thickness of a £1 coin. Lift the pastry into a 22cm fluted tart tin and press it into the corners, taking care not to rip it. Trim the excess pastry with scissors, leaving an overhang of about 1cm. Line with baking parchment and baking beans, and bake for 15 mins.
• Remove the parchment and beans and return to the oven for 5 mins more, until it looks biscuity. Remove from the oven and use a small serrated knife to trim the pastry to the height of the tin. Discard (or nibble on) the off-cuts.
• Spoon the jam onto the base of the tart and spread to the edges. Top with the peanut mixture, spreading to the edges to cover the jam. Bake for 45 mins until the sponge is cooked and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 15 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Mash the remaining icing sugar and jam together to make a smooth icing and drizzle on top. Roughly chop the remaining peanuts and scatter over. Will keep in an airtight container for three days.
