One of my favorite flavor combinations ever is peanut butter and jelly. Since gluten is off limits for me, it is difficult to satiate my craving with a simple sandwich. So, I have resorted to eating pb&j straight from a giant spoon every now and again.

First (peanut) Layer:

8 small dates, de-pitted
1/4 cup agave or maple syrup
1 cup roasted peanuts
Second (berry mousse) Layer:

1 package (349g) extra firm silken tofu
4 tbsp raspberry preserves
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup blackberries
Third Layer:

Fresh Blackberries, cut into smaller sections ( I used a 6 oz. package for all three parfaits- including the 1/2 cup of berries from second layer)
Fourth (peanut butter mousse) Layer:

1 package extra firm silken tofu
5 heaping tbsp creamy natural peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt (omit if using salted peanut butter)
Topping:

1/2 cup crushed roasted peanuts

First layer: Place all ingredients for first layer into a food processor and chop until crumbly. Don’t let the food processor go too long or you will have gooey peanut butter! Divide and spoon into three...
