Indulge in the creamy and decadent delight of Peanut Butter Cup Pudding, a dessert that’s sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. This rich and luscious pudding combines the classic flavors of chocolate and peanut butter, creating a comforting treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
The slow cooker method allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in a pudding that’s both smooth and velvety, making it a hit with kids and adults alike. This dessert is incredibly easy to prepare, requiring just a few simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry.
The slow cooking process allows you to set it and forget it, freeing up your time to focus on other tasks or entertain guests. Once ready, you can serve it warm or chill it in the refrigerator for a cool, revitalizing dessert. Top it off with whipped cream or crushed peanut butter cups for an extra special touch!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream (for serving)
- Crushed peanut butter cups (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will create a rich base for your pudding.
- Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the peanut butter mixture. Whisk until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. This guarantees that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
- Pour the pudding mixture into the slow cooker and spread it evenly. Cover with the lid and set your slow cooker to low. Cook for 4 hours, allowing the pudding to thicken and develop its flavors.
- After 4 hours, check the pudding for doneness. It should be thickened but still slightly wobbly in the center. If it appears to be too runny, you can cook it for an additional 30 minutes. Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the pudding warm or transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for a few hours. When ready to serve, ladle the pudding into individual bowls and top with whipped cream and crushed peanut butter cups for added texture and flavor.
Extra Tips:
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the pudding mixture before cooking. If you prefer a thicker pudding, you can increase the cooking time slightly, but be careful not to overcook, as it can become too firm.
This pudding can also be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making it a convenient option for gatherings or celebrations.
