Peanut Butter Surprise

"When my mom was a teenager she visited her Dad’s first cousin Phillip and his wife. Phillip’s wife was a bit of a gourmet cook and she made this wonderulf dessert. My mom liked it so well that she asked her for the recipe and continued to make it on herself. I tweaked the recipe by substituting coffee for some of the milk and I really like the way it turned out."
