Steps
Watch the video in the post for easy visual instructions.In a medium-sized saucepan, combine all ingredients except vanilla extract, peanut butter, and chocolate. Whisk until the cornstarch dissolves completely, only then turn on the heat. This step is important to avoid any lumps.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking frequently.
Once the pudding starts boiling turn the heat to low and whisk continuously for about 30-60 seconds. You will notice that the pudding thickens.
Remove from heat, add vanilla extract, peanut butter, and dairy-free chocolate (if using). Whisk until the peanut butter and chocolate melted and no lumps remain.
Pour the pudding into jars, cover with a plastic wrap to avoid a film, and refrigerate for a couple of hours until set. Enjoy!

Claire Firman on 2025-11-03 (5 stars): Simple to make (I used the microwave) and uses kitchen staples - so useful to satisfy those after dinner cravings.
Ethan on 2025-05-07 (5 stars): I have made this recipe several times. Made it again today in a pot that we made outmeal in. without cleaning it and the results were amazing.
meri on 2025-01-31 (5 stars): Excellent recipe. If you use a spatula to stir and scrape constantly through the heating process you can keep it from boiling and cook it a bit longer and it ends up so gorgeous and thick with a perfect texture. I recommend using low heat if you have a gas flame. Let it be a slow process and it will be a lovely pudding without the need for peanut butter!
Berkshires Jim on 2025-01-26 (5 stars): This is an excellent chocolate pudding! I used a coconut/almond blend milk, and for sweetener used Stevia, half the amount of sugar required. Instead of peanut butter I stirred in some tahini at the end. Thick and cream and smooth before I even got it to the fridge! Since I like it a bit sweeter I will add a slight amount more of the Stevia. Sugar free…dairy free…rich and wonderful!
Heather Huggins on 2024-12-21 (5 stars): I make this often. Delicious and nutritious.
Pam on 2024-07-20 (5 stars): Absolute perfection. Easy to whip up and so indulgent. Love it.
Pat on 2024-02-06 (4 stars): this is my second time making this! Easy recipe! loved it so much I doubled the recipe! May slow the cooking process next time. still has a chalky taste, but not a deal breaker. next time I would like to try in a pie like the earlier review....sounds yummy!
