Peanut butter pudding recipe
This is one of those desserts that ticks all the boxes for a luscious treat – peanut butter, caramel and chocolate. You can make the vegan puddings as well as the sorbet in advance and freeze until needed. The sorbet is also delicious on its own – it makes a little more than you need for four people.

Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F/gas mark 4. Grease 4 ramekins, approximately 250ml (8.5 fl oz) in volume.
- Start by making the sorbet. Put the sugar and cocoa powder in a saucepan with 200ml (6.7 fl oz) of water.
- Whisk well, then place over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Continue whisking and cooking the mixture until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Put the chocolate in a mixing bowl and pour the cocoa mix through a fine sieve onto the chocolate. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then whisk together.
- Add the ice and whisk until the ice has melted and the mixture has cooled. Churn in an ice-cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions, or transfer to the freezer and remove and whisk every hour to break up the ice crystals.
- For the puddings, whisk the aquafaba in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar and whisk until glossy and all sugar grains have dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ground almonds, flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a third bowl, mix the peanut butter, olive oil, melted butter and milk together.
- Stir the peanut butter mix into the dry ingredients, then gently fold in the meringue. Divide between the ramekins and bake for 10 minutes.
- When ready to serve, make the caramel. Put the sugar into a small, heavy-based saucepan or frying pan. Set over medium heat and leave the sugar to melt, swirling the pan occasionally for even caramelisation.
- Once the sugar has dissolved and reached a deep golden colour, add the butter and whisk to combine well.
- Bring the milk to the boil, then add to the caramel and whisk well. Lastly, whisk in the peanut butter and salt.
- Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the peanut puddings and serve with a big scoop of dark chocolate sorbet.
