I had never heard of a recipe for peanut butter pudding but I have always wanted some – when I was a kid there was some kind of mix that made pudding in the bottom and a fudgy peanut butter topping – I wish I could remember the name, there were several kinds – do any of you know what I am talking about? Anyway, when I asked to join in on #chocPBday, I thought it was the perfect time to create chocolate peanut butter pudding…………..and I did it! It took 4 tries but I’m telling you this pudding is life changing. It’s also dress-size changing because I could have eaten the entire pot of pudding myself. Putting it in a trifle is the only way to keep from eating it all. I’m serious, you must try it because if you like chocolate and peanut butter together you will want to make this over and over again. I began with my Nana’s chocolate pie recipe and tweeked it.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
5 Tablespoons of Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder
1 Can (12 ounces) Evaporated Milk
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
1 Cup peanut butter
2 Cups of vanilla cookies, crushed
10 miniature chocolate peanut butter candies, roughly chopped
1 Cup Heavy Cream
3 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
In a bowl whisk together the cocoa and flour and set aside.
In a separate bowl mix together milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
Pour the wet mixture into pot or double boiler.
Put pats of butter or dollops of margarine around mixture where it will melt while cooking.
Turn burner on Medium whisking constantly and bring to a boil.
Whisk in the flour and cocoa and continue stirring constantly for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
***Dark chocolate cocoa powder does not thicken up like regular cocoa but that’s okay – just wait. ***
Even thought the pudding is not as thick as you would expect pudding to be, you are going to add the cup of peanut butter now and stir until blended.
Take the pot off the stove and cool completely – it will be thick enough now!
If you can keep your hands off of it long enough – make some more chocolate pudding leaving out the peanut butter and substituting regular cocoa powder for the dark chocolate cocoa powder and allow to cool as well.
Now you have 2 batches of pudding: One dark chocolate peanut butter and one regular chocolate pudding.
Put the pudding into Ziploc bags like this:
Sprinkle some cookie crumbs in the bottom of the bowl.
Snip off the corner of one of the bags and pipe it into the glass covering the cookie crumbs.
Sprinkle some of the miniature candy pieces ontop of pudding and add more cookie crumbs.
Snip off the corner of the other bag and pipe into the glass.
Using a cold bowl and beaters whip heavy cream until foamy then add in vanilla and powdered sugar.
Beat until right before stiff peaks form. Turn off mixer.
Carefully put whipped cream into another Ziploc bag and using any tip you want, pipe onto top of trifle.
Top with a cherry and some candy if you like – or even nuts!
I love this trifle and I could have it every single night for a month!! It is all homemade so I think that means it’s GOOD for you!
