Notes

Recipe Notes
Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest filling. Natural peanut butter can make the texture oily or less stable.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing so the filling stays lump-free.
For cleaner slices, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped dry between cuts.
Store covered in the freezer for up to 1 month.
