Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
Let the pudding cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap. Ensure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
If desired, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to make a sweet topping. Spoon the whipped cream onto the chilled pudding before serving.
