Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 0.5 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 0.25 cup crushed peanuts (optional topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing it to thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate until fully melted and smooth.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined and silky.
Step 6
Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls or glasses, then cover each with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to chill and set fully.
Step 8
Before serving, top each portion with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for extra texture and flavor.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy!
