Ingredients

• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0 whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 0 chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and place the saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken and comes to a gentle boil, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes until the pudding is fully thickened.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or one large serving dish. Let it cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the pudding is fully chilled and set.

Step 8

Serve the pudding cold, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts if desired.
