I discovered this recipe while browsing through a food blog (I can’t remember which one, unfortunately!) and immediately knew it was a winner. The creamy texture, the rich chocolate flavor, the subtle nutty sweetness of peanut butter – it's the perfect balance of indulgence and ease. The best part? The cleanup is minimal! A quick rinse of the blender and a few pudding cups are all it takes. No mountains of dirty dishes to add to my already overflowing to-do list.

I often adapt this recipe based on what I have on hand. Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice note, or a splash of coffee for an extra layer of depth. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, or even add a swirl of caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra touch of decadence.

This Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Blender Pudding is more than just a dessert; it’s a testament to the fact that deliciousness doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming.

Step-by-step

• Combine chocolate chips, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a blender and blend for 2 minutes until the chocolate is finely chopped.
• Heat the milk or half & half in a small saucepan until bubbles start to form.
• Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and egg mixture, and add the peanut butter.
• Blend again for 3 minutes, allowing the heat from the milk to melt the chocolate and peanut butter, and cook the egg.
• Let blend until all ingredients are completely blended and the mixture is silky and shiny (depending on your blender, you may have to occasionally use a spoon to move things along), about 3 minutes.
• Divide into individual pudding cups, and let chill 30 minutes before serving (will thicken as it chills).
• Leftovers will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but will thicken as they chill because of the peanut butter: you can let sit at room temp for about 20 minutes or so before serving to get the silky texture back.
