Peanut butter. Fitness junkies consider it a superfood high in healthy fats, never failing to include it in their protein shakes, smoothies and morning toast while others—like us—appreciate it for its sinful appeal. Adding it into a dessert or even a dish provides a heightened butteriness accented with a nutty flavour that is just pure bliss.

As a flavour of ice cream, on pancakes, layered into a decadent chocolate cake or even slapped on a savoury beef burger, here is our list of peanut butter-laden dishes in Singapore loaded with nutty, buttery goodness. You’ll fall in love #3 in a heartbeat.

CREAMIER – PEANUT BUTTER JELLY ICE CREAM

Located in the tranquil, nature-filled enclave of Gillman Barracks lies Creamier, an artisanal ice cream parlour that boasts some seriously interesting flavours. We are huge fans of their Peanut Butter & Jelly flavour as well as their locally inspired Kaya Toast.

EDITH PATISSERIE – PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

Sticky, chewy and loaded with decadence in the form of fudge chocolate and creamy, slightly savoury swirls of peanut butter, what could beat that? Available in a box of 6 or 25, this is one artery-clogging delight that will score you brownie points (pun intended) at your next house gathering.

FAT BOYS – THE ELVIS

If you’re wondering why the association with rock ’n roll legend, Elvis Presley, well, it’s because the man absolutely loved the stuff. Peanut butter and bacon was his guilty pleasure and a testament to his love for it, the burger comes loaded with a bacon stuffed pork patty, grilled bananas and creamy peanut butter. After your first bite, we guarantee you’ll be “all shook up”.

FRESH FRUITS LAB – ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER CHOC CAKE

Available only on weekends between 10am to 3pm, their Ultimate Peanut Butter Choc Cake is not one to be missed. Decadent chocolate is further complemented by a salty nutty flavour that just makes this dessert so irresistibly good.

GROUP THERAPY – PEANUT BUTTER BANANA WAFFLE

Famous for being one of the most chill cafes around and, hands down, one of our favourite places to get solid waffles, is Group Therapy. Their menu boasts a wide selection of brunch delights but we always make it a point to order up their Peanut Butter Banana Waffle.

JIE BAKERY – PEANUT BUTTER TOAST

Trumping regular store-bought loaves any day, Jie Bakery in Taiseng is one of the few surviving traditional bakeries in Singapore.

PARK BENCH DELI – PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY SANDWICH

Generously slathered with peanut butter, jelly and chocolate before being fully encrusted in corn flakes and deep-fried to golden, oozy perfection, if the Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich over at Park Bench Deli doesn’t kill you, we don’t know what will.

TOAST BOX – PEANUT BUTTER

Toastbox is not a name unheard of, especially not if you’re someone that hankers after the classic breakfast combo of kaya toast, half-boiled eggs and kopi in the morning. Besides kaya, they also have a peanut butter option that goes equally well with eggs and freshly brewed coffee.

TWELVE CUPCAKES – PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE

The best way to spoil a sweet tooth is to present them with a box of cupcakes. Over at established Twelve Cupcakes, their flavours rotate on a monthly basis with their Peanut Butter Chocolate making appearances on odd months. You can’t always get it, but when it’s available, you really need to.

TWO MEN BAGEL HOUSE – PBJ

Bagels are a New Yorkers staple and while they look like a doughnut, they really aren’t as greasy, let alone heart attack-inducing. They are baked instead of fried and are much denser. The common combination is to eat it with cream cheese, capers, dill and smoked salmon but here at Two Men Bagel House, they do it in numerous ways—some even too crazy to imagine. We love their PBJ, a bagel loaded with creamy peanut butter and sweet, tangy jelly.

Peanut butter is something we all grew up with, and today, we want to share with you all the Tasty Peanut Butter Dishes in Singapore That Are Worth The Calories.

Made from ground roasted peanuts, the popular food paste is no longer just a spread for sandwiches and toasts. Rejoice! Because peanut butter is widely used in food and desserts, such as cakes, ice-cream and even burgers!

From Creamier’s Peanut Butter Jelly Ice-Cream to Chef Icon Nature Bakery’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake, we have picked out 8 Peanut Butter Dishes in Singapore that will satisfy your cravings for peanut butter.

CHEF ICON NATURE BAKERY – PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

Chef Icon Nature Bakery’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake (S$7.80) is an interesting rendition of the Boston cheesecake.

Unlike the ubiquitous overwhelmingly rich cheesecakes, the peanut butter cheesecake offers layers of flavourful peanut butter, producing a sublime creaminess. It is a wonderful fusion and makes a great treat for those who love both peanut butter and cheese.

CREAMIER – PEANUT BUTTER JELLY ICE-CREAM 

Peanut butter jelly sandwiches are nostalgic, and they are childhood staples for many. Now, we have it in ice cream form—Creamier’s Peanut Butter Jelly Ice Cream (S$4.20) tasted exactly the same.

Peanut butter fans must give this a go! Eating the ice cream was akin to eating the thick PBJ jam right from the old-school Skippy container.

FAT BOYS – THE ELVIS 

Inspired by The Elvis sandwich and Elvis Presley himself, Fat Boys has created The Elvis Burger (S$11)—a bacon stuffed pork patty sandwiched between fluffy honey oat brown buns.

Sink your teeth into the burger and you will find other surprising ingredients such as grilled bananas and, of course, a generous amount of creamy peanut butter. The burger also comes with crispy fries.

FRESH FRUITS LAB – ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER CHOC CAKE

Fresh Fruits Lab has a dedicated pastry chef and he bakes the prettiest French-style sweets. The one that we really love is the Ultimate Peanut Butter Choc Cake.

Priced at S$7.50, this decadent treat is our newfound guilty pleasure. Every mouthful of the dense cake is so rewarding; the taste of the rich peanut butter lingers on.

GROUP THERAPY – PEANUT BUTTER WAFFLE 

This is a decadent treat if you want something really sweet for that sugar rush. Group Therapy has decent waffle bases – albeit inconsistent. Nonetheless, the Peanut Butter Waffle (S$11) is our all-time favourite and for some reason, they always get this right.

JOE AND DOUGH – PEANUT BUTTER STACK 

Chocolate stack cakes are pretty common these days, but Peanut Butter Stack (S$6) isn’t. Thank God Joe And Dough created their version. At S$6 per serving, this longitudinal cake is a dense treat that is very sweet. The rich peanut butter taste may not be for everyone, but for peanut butter lovers, they’ll have you covered.

TOAST BOX – PEANUT BUTTER THICK TOAST 

But of course, right? How can we miss out on Toast Box’s Peanut Butter Thick Toast (S$1.70)? It is one of those affordable and simple treat that we can always rely on. Toasted old-school white bread slathered with thick and chunky peanut butter, then sliced up into bite-size pieces; the sheer simplicity of this is one we always seek solace in!

TWELVE CUPCAKES – SNICKERS CUPCAKE 

Twelve Cupcakes has an exciting flavour – the Snickers Cupcake (S$3.20). Drizzled with rich chocolate and gooey caramel condiments, the salted peanut infused cupcake will have you rethink about all the other boring flavours. The chocolatey cupcake is topped with creamy peanut butter frosting and a bite-size portion of the snickers chocolate bar. What calories?

Cheesecake is a universal favourite. However, you either love it or hate it. For us, cheesecakes are the kings of cakes and pastries. Nothing can beat cutting through a smooth and rich cheesecake, before hitting the crust base.

Recently, bakeries and restaurants have taken the liberty of infusing other flavours into this classic favourite. There are a few outstanding cheesecakes in Singapore that are totally worth getting fat for.

From cool flavoured cheesecakes to traditional ones, here is a list of the 10 Cheesecakes in Singapore You Must Try.

#1 BAKERZIN – NEW YORK CHEESECAKE

Some things stay gold forever, like Bakerzin’ New York Cheesecake. It is one of the most classic versions ever, and we have been fans for the last decade. Always consistently dense and creamy, they never disappoint.

#2 CAKE SPADE – STRAWBERRY TOFU CHEESECAKE

At S$5.90, this cheesecake is one of the more inexpensive ones on the list, but also one of our favourites. The jelly-like consistency of the tofu cheesecake layer in the middle really balanced out its perfect crust and the acidic contrast of strawberries on top. Also, because it is a tofu cheesecake, it is less heavy and rich – perfect for those who prefer lighter cheesecake options.

#3 CHEF ICON – PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

If you thought that Chef Icon’s iconic Boston Cheesecake is the bomb diggity, then you are in for a better treat. The Peanut Butter Cheesecake (S$7.80) is basically all the goodness of the Boston Cheesecake, with the addition of peanut butter. Fans of peanut butter will be happy to know that the peanut butter itself is not overwhelming and cuts out the richness of the cheese slightly.

#4 D’ GOOD CAFE – MAPLE SEA SALT CHEESECAKE

We were initially skeptical about this cheesecake’s price tag. For S$9, the slice of cake was practically screaming “I’m that good!” It wasn’t wrong. The sweetness of the maple is well-balanced with the rich cream cheese and the sea salt. Don’t forget a good cheesecake always comes with an amazing crust – d’Good has aced theirs.

#5 D9 CAKERY – AMERICAN CHEESECAKE

We were wowed by the beautiful cakes and pastries on display at D9 Cakery at Hilton Hotel, but the ever so plain-looking American Cheesecake (S$9.25) is still the best classic to turn to when we need a perk-me-up. It is the ultimate balance of fluffy and rich, and has one of the best and smoothest textures ever. It is worth every penny.

#6 FLOR PATISSERIE – STRAWBERRY SOUFFLE

Pardon its name, the Strawberry Souffle (S$7.30) at Flor Patisserie is actually modelled after a light and airy Japanese Cheesecake, and this is used as the base of the slice of heaven. The addition of fresh berries gave a nice acidic kick to an otherwise one-dimensional taste.

#7 MARMALADE PANTRY – SEA SALT CARAMEL CHEESECAKE

Some people love their cheesecake rich, some prefer it airy and light. What Marmalade Pantry has done was to combine both textures to produce an immaculate decadence. And whenever we find ourselves in town, it is so hard to resist the idea of popping by for a slice of this treat.

#8 PATISSERIE G – LYCHEE ROSE CHEESECAKE

The supposed hint of lychee and rose in this was just the right amount, so much so that you could actually taste all the flavours, without one overpowering the other. This Lychee Rose Cheesecake (S$8.50) is not the prettiest, but makes a damn good treat when paired with a warm latte.

#9 PIQUE NIQUE – BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

For berry lovers, this one’s for you. A nice layer of blueberry covers the entire face of the cake and even within the layers of the cheesecake layer. The tangy sweetness of the blueberries nicely evens out this cake, for S$8.50 per slice, it makes a good tea break in between shopping.

#10 SUN WITH MOON – TOFU CHEESECAKE

You might have seen photos of Sun With Moon’s Tofu Cheesecake (S$6.50) on your social media feeds before. Yes, it is the cheesecake with the odd wooden box cover. While we thought that the box was actually a successful gimmick, the real star of this dish is the cheesecake itself. Bouncy like a tofu, but smooth and silky like a perfect cheesecake. A mini scoop of blueberries is placed on top of the cake for a variation in taste.
