Ingredients
  • 8 slices buttermilk bread
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups whipping cream
  • peanut butter streusel topping (see below)
  • dark caramel sauce (see below)
  • whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup salted peanuts
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. Spread bread slices with peanut butter. Top 4 bread slices with bananas and remaining bread slices, peanut butter sides down, pressing firmly. Cut sandwiches into 1-inch pieces; place in 8 lightly greased (8-ounce) ramekins.
  2. Whisk together eggs and sugars; whisk in whipping cream. Gradually pour mixture over sandwich pieces in ramekins; sprinkle with peanut butter streusel topping. Place ramekins in a 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Cover and chill 2 to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°. Let puddings stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden, set and puffed. Serve warm with caramel sauce. Garnish, if desired.
  4. Stir together flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Cut in butter and peanut butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles small peas. Stir in peanuts.
  5. Cook sugar in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes or until sugar caramelizes, swirling pan to incorporate mixture. Stir in whipping cream. Mixture will bubble and harden. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture melts and begins to boil (about 5 minutes). Quickly pour sauce into a bowl; stir in vanilla and salt. Cool 15 minutes.
