chocolate and peanut butter desserts recipe

I’ve been on a mission this year to share decadent chocolate and peanut butter dessert recipes such as this.  This winner combines homemade peanut butter pudding (very quick and easy to make) with a topping of chocolate ganache and then decorated with some chopped Reeses cups.  Soooooooooooo good!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Recipe, serve 4

  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 egg yolks (I used extra large but large will work fine)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter (cut into 2 pieces)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semisweet or dark)
  • chopped up Reeses cups (2 minis)
  1. Put peanut butter in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. In a medium saucepan add: salt, brown sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks and milk.  Cook over low-medium heat until mixture starts to thicken; 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.
  3. Set strainer over bowl with peanut butter and pour thickened pudding into strainer.  With a wooden spoon, push pudding through stainer.  Once done, mix peanut butter and pudding until thoroughly combined, then add the butter and vanilla extract and mix until combined and smooth.
  4. Using a spoon, divide peanut butter pudding among dishes or glasses.
  5. Make chocolate ganache:  Bring cream to boil in a small saucepan.  Turn off heat.  Add chocolate chips and shake pan so that cream covers chocolate.  Let sit 5 minutes and then stir until well combined (mixture will go from cream colored to chocolate).  Drop a few spoonfuls on top each peanut butter pudding serving and then top with chopped Reeses.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 3 hours before serving.
