Peanut Butter Pudding is scrape-the-pan delicious. And this homemade pudding is just as easy as a box mix, but so much more scrumptious!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk the cornstarch with a little bit of the milk until very smooth and the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Add this mixture back to the rest of the milk, and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan, add the brown sugar along with a couple tablespoons water and melt the mixture until it starts to bubble.

  3. 3

    Add the milk and the salt to the saucepan, and whisk everything together. It's ok if the sugar seizes up, it will melt again as the pudding cooks.

  4. 4

    Over medium heat, continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it just comes to a boil.

  5. 5

    Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter and the vanilla extract until completely smooth.

  6. 6

    Pour the pudding into your pudding cups, and allow to chill in the fridge for a few hours, or up to overnight. Serve with whipped cream and crushed peanuts, if desired.
