Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar any granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • pinch salt optional
  • 8 oz vegan chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4-1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 2/3 cup plant based milk

Instructions

  1. In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, salt (if using) and chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar. 

  2. Stir in milk and whisk continuously while heating to a boil.

  3. Boil for one minute, whisking constantly. 

  4. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla. 

  5. Fill each ramekin about half way (I used 6 oz. ramekins) 

  6. Spoon a layer of peanut butter over the pudding and top with remaining pudding. 

  7. Chill for about 30 minutes. 

Recipe Notes

  • If you are using peanut butter that has no other ingredients other than peanuts, it should be soft and easy to spoon over the pudding if you leave it out to reach room temperature. You can also microwave it in a glass bowl for about 15 seconds to soften it. 
  • Be sure that you get the pudding off the heat and get it poured right away. This thickens quickly. If it gets too thick before you get it into the ramekins, it will be fine, just not as pretty. 
  • If adding a topping, wait until it is completely cool. 
  • I like the flavor best with almond milk, but because I can't find an almond milk without all the additives, I either make my own or I use soy milk that is only just soy and water. Westsoy is one brand that has no additives. Trader Joe's also has a soy milk with no additives.
