Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan on medium heat and continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once thickened, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 2 minutes, whisking constantly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 7

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.

Step 8

Let the pudding cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap. Ensure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.

Step 10

If desired, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to make a sweet topping. Spoon the whipped cream onto the chilled pudding before serving.
