--- See Giada De Laurentiis put a peanut butter spin on tiramisu in Giada Entertains. The new season starts Wednesday 25 August at 7.30pm on SBS Food, with the tiramisu featuring in episode 10 ---
We don't anticipate ever being able to pick a winner from smooth versus crunchy - but we are quite sure that for peanut butter lovers, there's a new dessert 'PB' in this list of indulgent ideas.
Peanut butter and honey brownies
"These brownies are incredible: the perfect pick-me-up or treat for someone you love. Cook a lot - everyone will want some," says Clare Scrine of her next-level brownie recipe, which features a hefty swirl of crunchy peanut butter. Scrine suggests eating them with a glass of cold milk. Sounds like a perfect match to us.
Banana and peanut butter ice-cream with cashew brittle
Sarah Graham was inspired to make this decadent ice cream during a visit to Zimbabwe, but we reckon it's at home anywhere. Preferably right in front of us, with a spoon handy.
Peanut butter chocolate bark
Chocolate and peanut butter are made for each other - so of course, the Queen of Chocolate, Kirsten Tibballs, has some excellent ways to pair the two. This three-ingredient recipe is great served with coffee, or used as decoration for ice cream, cakes or desserts.
Peanut butter and jam tiramisu
This twist on the classic comes from Giada De Laurentiis, who says she loves the combination of raspberry jam with peanut butter.
Double-choc chip peanut butter cookies
You can use smooth or crunchy PB in these dark beauties. They're also vegan, and they freeze well too!
Peanut butter and jelly cannoli
New York meets Italy in these crunchy cannoli, filled with luscious peanut butter mousse and sweet strawberry conserve.
Vegan snickers
There's a double dose of smooth PB in this recipe: it's part of the oats-and-cashew base layer and in the date and tahini caramel middle layer.
Peanut butter choc-chip skookie
Peanut butter cookie dough and a cast-iron skillet come together in the supersized American 'skookie'.
Layered caramel and chocolate slice
This deliciously nutty, chewy, chocolatey slice is also vegan!
Peanut butter semifreddo
Another beautiful recipe from Kirsten Tibballs, this semifreddo (a semi-frozen Italian dessert) is the perfect summer treat for peanut butter lovers.
