Peanut Butter - Chocolate Pudding Parfaits

Peanut Butter - Chocolate Pudding Parfaits


Rediscover chocolate pudding's comforting simplicity and the indulgence of peanut butter whipped together with cream. And if you can handle it, topped off with crushed peanut butter sandwich cookies. I think you can handle it! To make beautiful layered parfaits, use a small ice-cream scoop with a spring-loaded handle. This way, you can drop whipped cream and pudding straight into glasses, leaving the sides clean. Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Chocolate Pudding: Martha Stewart - Everyday Food (04/2006)

Ingredients:
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 ½ cups milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; set aside. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt, add cocoa powder. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time) whisk in milk, taking care to dissolve cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks.
- Whisking constantly, cook over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters. Reduce heat to low; still whisking, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; immediately pour through sieve into bowl. Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding.
- Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding (to prevent skin from forming); chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Before serving, whisk pudding until smooth; divide among four serving dishes.
