Yield: 6 jars
Active Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour (includes macerating time)
Ease of Preparation: Easy
Ingredients
Strawberry Layer:
Peanut Butter Whipped Cream:
To Assemble:
Special equipment: a large piping bag or a gallon-size resealable plastic bag; 6 wide-mouth pint jars
Directions
For the strawberry layer: Add the strawberries, granulated sugar and vanilla to a large bowl and gently stir together. Let sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes so the strawberries become juicy.
For the peanut butter whipped cream: Meanwhile, add the cream to a large chilled bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until it looks thick (like melted ice cream), about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the confectioners’ sugar, scoop in the peanut butter and add the vanilla. Continue beating until medium peaks form, about 2 minutes more. Place in a large piping bag or a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and snip off the end with kitchen shears.
To assemble: Dividing evenly, layer the components in 6 wide-mouth pint jars: Fill each jar with 3 layers of cake, strawberries and whipped cream (in that order). Top each with a halved strawberry before serving.
