This Rich Peanut Butter Pudding is a decadent dessert that combines the creamy goodness of peanut butter with a smooth and velvety texture. Perfect for peanut butter lovers, this pudding isn’t only easy to prepare but also brings a delightful flavor that’s both nostalgic and satisfying.
Whether served as a comforting treat at the end of a long day or for a special occasion, this pudding is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a handful of simple ingredients, this pudding comes together quickly and is a fantastic way to showcase the rich flavors of peanut butter.
Topped with whipped cream or crushed peanuts, it makes for an impressive dessert that looks as good as it tastes. You can even customize it by adding chocolate chips or drizzling chocolate sauce over the top for an extra indulgent experience.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
- Chopped peanuts (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined. This dry mixture will help thicken the pudding as it cooks.
- Gradually add the whole milk to the dry mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated, creating a rich and smooth pudding.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or one large bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- When ready to serve, remove the pudding from the refrigerator. If desired, top with whipped cream and garnish with chopped peanuts for an added crunch and flavor.
Extra Tips:
For an even richer flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter for added texture. You can also experiment by adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate peanut butter version or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving for a delightful sweet-salty contrast.
This pudding can be made a day in advance, making it a perfect dessert to prepare ahead of time for gatherings or special occasions.
Enjoy your delicious creation!
