Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.33 cup smooth peanut butter
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C), and set a kettle of water to boil for the water bath.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the milk and peanut butter. Heat until the peanut butter is fully melted into the milk, stirring continuously, but do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to ensure a smooth custard.
Divide the custard mixture evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups.
Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish, and carefully pour the boiling water into the dish around the ramekins until it reaches about halfway up their sides.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are just set (the center should still jiggle slightly when shaken).
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature for 10 minutes before covering and transferring to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.
Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts if desired. Enjoy your creamy, nutty baked custard!
