Ingredients

  • 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate chips[1]
  • 2 T peanut butter[2]
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 t pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of Kosher salt
  • 2/3 c milk
  • 1 T sugar (optional)
  • 5 oz store-bought whipped cream

Preparation

In a blender, combine the chocolate, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Blend on high speed until coarsely combined, about 30 seconds.

Microwave the milk in a microwave-safe mug or bowl in 20-second intervals until very, very hot to the touch. Pour the milk into the blender with the chocolate mixture and blend until smooth.

Taste. Do you want it to be sweeter? If so, blend in up to 1 tablespoon sugar.

Pour the mixture into six small bowls/ramekins/teacups and refrigerate for at least 1 our for a pudding-y consistency, or up to 4 hours for a more firm ganache-y consistency.

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

<references>

  1. Milk chocolate can be used, but reduce the amount of milk to 1/3 cup.
  2. Can make mint instead by substituting 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract for the peanut butter; then sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
