Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.333 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, dark brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until the cornstarch and sugar dissolve completely.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. This will take about 8–10 minutes.
Once the mixture thickens, reduce the heat to low and add the peanut butter and butterscotch chips. Stir until they are completely melted and incorporated into the pudding base.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Cover each dish directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and crushed peanuts, if desired, for added texture and flavor.
