Peanut Butter Pudding with Bananas and Chocolate Sauce

Instructions

Pudding

1. Heat 1 cup of milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the milk is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the remaining cup of milk, a little at a time, to avoid clumps. Whisk in the egg.
3. Gradually whisk in the sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Return to medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a simmer and is thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth.
5. Stir in the peanut butter.
6. Divide the pudding among 4-6 half cup ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.

2. Microwave, covered with a wet paper towel for 30 seconds.
3. Let sit for 10 seconds, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
4. Let sit, do not remove the paper towel for 2 minutes.
5. Stir for 1 minute until glossy and smooth.
