Alright enough about me; let's talk Peanut Butter Chocolate Pudding Parfaits. I love parfaits. From the ingredients you are going to layer to what glasses you serve them in, there are several possibilities with parfaits. I prefer a champagne flute. They are just 4 ounces so the desserts were not too huge. Light, adorable and delicate; just like my 'lil peanut Lance.

Peanut Butter Pudding
1/2 cup sugar
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 whole milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Pudding

2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1-1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped (or chips)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Peanut Butter Pudding: Whisk first 3 ingredients in large saucepan to blend. Gradually whisk in milk, then cream. Whisk over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Then boil until thick, whisking constantly, about 30 seconds. Whisk in peanut butter; boil until thick again, whisking often, about 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla. Divide pudding among six 1-cup glasses or twelve 4 ounce glasses. Chill uncovered while preparing chocolate pudding.

Boil until thick, whisking constantly, about 30 seconds. Add chopped chocolate. Boil until chocolate melts and pudding is thick again, whisking often, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla. Cool pudding 5 minutes. Spoon atop peanut butter pudding, dividing equally. Chill puddings uncovered until cold, at least 2 hours. Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
Topping:Whisk cream and powdered sugar in medium bowl to soft peaks. Spoon topping onto puddings and serve. To make these even more scrumptous, layer crushed up graham crackers between the pudding layers and top off with some crushed Reeses Peanut Butter candy.
I hope this ends your weekend on a sweet note! xo
