    Stovetop Pudding – like Grandma used to make

    Ok, so maybe your Grandma didn’t make peanut butter pudding, however, I’m sure at some point she made real pudding on the stovetop.

    Stove top pudding is very easy to make and this recipe just calls for brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, milk, heavy cream, peanut butter and vanilla. There are no egg yolks required to make the pudding. The cornstarch and peanut butter takes care of all the thickening for you resulting in a smooth and creamy treat.

    Cook Time 15 minutes
    Additional Time 4 hours
    Total Time 4 hours 35 minutes

    Ingredients

    For the Peanut Butter Pudding

    • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 cups whole milk
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla

    To assemble the Pie

    Instructions

    Prepare the Crust

    1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
    2. Pulse 10 – 12 peanut butter cookies in a food processor until you have at least 2 cups worth. Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and press it into a pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
    3. Crumble brownies into the bottom of the crust. I used about 6 brownies.

    Make the Pudding

    1. Put the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a large pot. Sit together to get the brown sugar mixes through. Whisk in the milk and cream and cook over medium heat bringing the mixture to a simmer, whisking occasionally along the way.
    2. As the mixture comes to a simmer, whisk constantly for one minute as it simmers. The mixture should be thick and coat the back of a wooden spoon.
    3. Remove from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Pour the pudding over the brownies in the cookie crust. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
    4. Remove the plastic wrap. Top with brownie slices and drizzle with chocolate syrup and melted peanut butter.

    1. A MUCH more enticing combination of treats than the dreaded Cherpumple, and you managed to combine 3 things. The Cherpumple might have multiple flavors, but it’s only two different things. Nice going!! 😉 [#PinItThurs]

      1. I have to admit, I had to Google Cherpumple. I had never heard of it. I think I feel a challenge coming on… Thanks for stopping by!

      1. In this specific recipe, it is NOT Gluten free. However, since the cookies are homemade, you can make your with GF flour and the brownies can be made with GF flour as well. It’s can easily be made with GF alternatives.

    2. OMG. These are nice and cute peanut butter pudding pie. Will prepare these for my husband’s birthday next week. I can’t wait to try these out! They sound delicious too! Thanks for sharing!
