In This Post:
Peanuts love chocolate. And chocolate loves peanuts right back.
It's one of those pairings I never get tired of. The kind that instantly makes even the simplest dessert feel a little special. (Yes, very Snickers-adjacent.)
This pudding brings that chocolate-peanut happiness into a bowl you can make at home. It's quick, it's easy. And the result is unapologetically rich - it reminds you that pudding doesn't have to be boring. Not even a little.
Why This Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Is Anything but Boring
Chocolate and peanut butter are a classic for a reason. Together, they create richness and that unmistakable just-one-more-spoon feeling.
In this dessert, creamy peanut butter melts straight into warm chocolate pudding. What you'll get is a silky, almost mousse-like texture.
Muscovado (or coconut blossom sugar) adds a subtle caramel note, and roasted peanuts on top bring crunch and contrast.
It's fast.
It's cozy.
And it turns a humble pudding into something genuinely luxurious.
🍽 Recipe
Opulent Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding (vegan)
Ingredients
Pudding
- 400 ml unsweetened vegan milk (oat milk works beautifully)
- 1 packet instant chocolate pudding mix (40 g / 1.4 oz) suitable for 500 ml / 2 cups liquid
- 1 heaped tablespoon creamy peanut butter unsweetened
- 5-6 tablespoons coconut blossom sugar or Muscovado sugar*
- ½ teaspoon ground vanilla bean powder or vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 handfuls roasted peanuts
- Ground cinnamon a generous pinch per serving
Instructions
- Mix the pudding base: Dissolve the chocolate pudding powder in 100 ml (½ cup) of the vegan milk. Set aside.
- Heat the milk: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 300 ml (1¼ cups) milk with the sugar and peanut butter. Heat gently, stirring until smooth. Bring just to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Thicken the pudding: Slowly whisk in the pudding mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the pudding thickens, then remove from heat immediately.
- Portion: Divide the hot pudding between 3-4 small bowls.
- Finish & serve: Let cool slightly, then top with roasted peanuts and a pinch of cinnamon.Serve lukewarm for a creamier texture, or chilled for a firmer pudding.Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
