Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.33 cup smooth peanut butter
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C), and set a kettle of water to boil for the water bath.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the milk and peanut butter. Heat until the peanut butter is fully melted into the milk, stirring continuously, but do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the slightly cooled milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

Step 5

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to ensure a smooth custard.

Step 6

Divide the custard mixture evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups.

Step 7

Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish, and carefully pour the boiling water into the dish around the ramekins until it reaches about halfway up their sides.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are just set (the center should still jiggle slightly when shaken).

Step 9

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature for 10 minutes before covering and transferring to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts if desired. Enjoy your creamy, nutty baked custard!
