Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Pops Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup of the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk a little at a time, to avoid lumps, then whisk in the egg.
• When the milk is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in the sugar-milk 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. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and stir until completely melted.
• Divide the pudding among 4 to 6 1/2-cup ramekins or serving glasses, layering each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the peanuts and garnishing with peanuts on top as well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons milk and peanut butter until smooth. Fold in 3/4 cup whipped topping; set aside. In a bowl, beat pudding mix and remaining milk until blended, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. , Spoon half of the pudding into six parfait glasses or bowls; top with peanut butter mixture and remaining pudding. Garnish with remaining whipped topping.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, heat milk until bubbles form at edges. In a bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add 1/4 cup of the hot milk to the cornstarch mixture, then whisk well until all the liquid is incorporated and there are no lumps. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the milk, whisking to combine. Continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and peanut butter.
• Pour the pudding into the pop molds to within 1/4 of the top, leaving room for the pudding to expand. Place the tops on the mold and freeze until frozen solid, about 4 hours. To remove from molds, run under hot water to slightly melt the side of the pudding pop, then twist the stem top and remove.

Steps:

• Put 4 ounces chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring 1/2 cup heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour over the chocolate and let sit 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and whisk until smooth; set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Combine the remaining 1 cup heavy cream, the confectioners' sugar and peanut butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold the peanut butter whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in three batches until just incorporated but still airy. Freeze until the mixture is firm enough to scoop, about 30 minutes.
• Lightly coat a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop or tablespoon with cooking spray. Scoop balls of the frozen mousse onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (about 1 heaping tablespoon per ball). Gently press a lollipop stick halfway into each ball. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 8 ounces chocolate and the coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the chocolate is melted and smooth; set aside to cool.
• Put the peanuts in a small bowl. Loosen the mousse balls from the baking sheet with a small offset spatula. One at a time, dip the balls into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Return to the baking sheet and sprinkle with the peanuts while the chocolate is still wet. Return to the freezer until ready to serve.
