Smooth Peanut Butter-And-Jelly Sandwich
Aesthetic lovers, this one’s for you: We’ve recreated the smooth pb&j that broke the internet recently. The gelatinous texture isn’t for everyone, but to be honest this tastes better than expected. The white (bread?) layer is like a sweetened cream and almost tastes like pan cotta. The jelly layer is slightly sweet and tangy, and the peanut butter layer tastes like a muted version of peanut butter. You can find agar agar powder at most specialty or Asian markets. Be careful not to let this set too much between layers—otherwise, the layers won’t connect. However, if you don’t wait long enough, the layers will combine and mix together. Making something this pretty requires expert timing.
