Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and place the saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken and comes to a gentle boil, about 8-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes until the pudding is fully thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or one large serving dish. Let it cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the pudding is fully chilled and set.
Serve the pudding cold, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts if desired.
