Preparation

Step 1

An oven,preheated to 350 degrees

One 9x9casserole dish or pie plate

Cooking Spray

One big mixing bowl (the bigger the better)

One double boiler (or make one with a metal mixing bowl and a saucepan. Make sure the mixing bowl will fit down into the saucepan without going all the way down.Fill the saucepan with water, bring to a boil, and position mixing bowl over the water)

A wire whisk

A plastic spatula or spoon



In your big mixing bowl, add in the sugar, buttermilk, and flour for the topping. Whisk all this together until it's all combined. Set aside.



Add cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract into your double boiler. Allow it to soften for about 10 minutes. Once the cream cheese and peanut butter become flexible, give it a good mixing up with your wire whisk.Continue to allow it to cook, whisking every five minutes until a smooth filling forms. This usually takes about 30 minutes. Set aside and cool for about 15 minutes.



Spray your casserole dish with cooking spray and fold the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom. Break the butter into about 9 pieces and dot it evenly across the filling. With your spatula or spoon, pour the topping mixture over the top of your peanut butter filling. You will want to cleanly scrape out all the batter over the cobbler.



Place your cobbler dish into the middle rack of your oven and bake until the topping is golden brown. This typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. I usually set the timer at 45 minutes and check on the cobbler. If it is not golden brown, I cookit in ten-minute interims until it is has transformed into peanut butter Delicious Goodness. When it's ready to devour, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool at least 30 minutes.
