In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add the peanut butter and cornstarch slurry to the saucepan. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid letting it come to a full boil.
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth texture.
Divide the pudding evenly into serving dishes or ramekins.
Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
When ready to serve, top with dark chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor, if desired.
