Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- About cup chopped banana, plus more for garnish
- Chopped roasted and salted peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Bring 1 cup of the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk a little at a time to avoid lumps, then whisk in the egg.
- When the milk is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in the sugar-milk mixture, stirring constantly. Return to medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a simmer and is thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter.
- Divide the pudding among 4 to 6 1/2-cup ramekins or serving glasses, layering each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the banana. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours. Right before serving, garnish with more bananas and chopped peanuts.

Reviews
It tastes really yummy. Like peanut butter with a hint of vanilla. I didn’t have bananas this time, but I imagine that they would be amazing with this.
This was great!
