Peanut Butter Custard Dessert Shots
Author: 
 
Serve in individual (3 ounce) mini dessert glasses or bowls. Serves 8-10 mini desserts. (About 3 cups.) You can enjoy this decadent custard warm or cold.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used kosher salt)
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted cold butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
  1. In a heavy large sauce pan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt.
  2. Put on medium-high heat.
  3. Immediately add and whisk the milk and yolks (while burner is heating up).
  4. Continue to keep whisking while the liquid is heating up for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Once it starts to thicken and bubble, turn off burner and take the pan off the heat.
  6. Add the vanilla, peanut butter, and cold butter pieces-- one by one while you are still stirring with your whisk.
  7. Once the butter and peanut butter has melted, put into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap on the surface of the custard to prevent a skin forming.
  8. Make sure the wrap is touching the custard on the top.
  9. Refrigerator until cooled (about 2-4 hours) or over night.
  10. Crush cookies and put in bottom of 3 ounce dessert glasses or bowls. Add the chilled custard in the individual servings. Sprinkle the rest of the the crumbs on top.
  11. Enjoy!
