Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter Use brands like Skippy or Jif for best results.
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk Adds perfect sweetness and creaminess.
  • 1/4 cup whole milk Adjusts consistency, can be swapped with water.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla for authentic taste.

Equipment

  • Small saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine ½ cup of creamy peanut butter and ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently for about 2-3 minutes until thick and smooth.
  2. Continue heating on low, stirring consistently for another 2 minutes until the mixture bubbles slightly and thickens.
  3. Gradually whisk in ¼ cup of whole milk, stirring for an additional minute until fully incorporated for a pourable sauce.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
  5. Serve immediately or let cool slightly before drizzling. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 weeks.
