Peanut Butter and Jelly Tart image

The classic nutty-sweet combo of peanut butter and jelly has escaped the confines of the sandwich and landed in a tart. With the help of a skewer, it becomes artfully (yet easily) swirled. It's versatile, too: Swap in almost any type of jelly -- we like raspberry and strawberry as much as the typical grape. Whatever you choose, it's a nostalgic treat for all ages.

Time 2h35m

Yield Makes 8 to 10 triangles

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup smooth sweetened peanut butter, such as Jif
1/4 cup raspberry, strawberry, or grape jelly, melted

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.
