Description
A delightful dessert that combines creamy banana pudding with the crunch of salty peanuts for a unique sweet-savory experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe Bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 2 cups Whole Milk (or almond milk)

- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Crushed Salty Peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
