Butterscotch budino is a delectable dessert with a rich and creamy texture, known for its sweet, buttery, and caramel-like flavor. The pudding is typically made with simple ingredients such as brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk or cream.

These ingredients come together to create a smooth, velvety consistency that melts in your mouth.


The color of butterscotch pudding can range from a light golden brown to a deeper amber hue, depending on the amount of brown sugar used. It can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on personal preference.

Prep time: 15mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Serving: 4

Ingredients:

»3/4 cup packed brown sugar

    »1/4 cup cornstarch
    »1/2 teaspoon salt
    »3 cups whole milk
    »3 large egg yolks
    »2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    »1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

2- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.

3-Gradually pour the milk into the saucepan with the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.

4-Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

5-Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat.

6-Gradually pour a small amount of the hot mixture into the bowl with the whisked egg yolks, stirring constantly. This helps to temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling.
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the pudding, stirring constantly.

7-Place the saucepan back on the stove over low heat and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring continuously.

8-Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

9-Let the pudding cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to individual serving dishes or a large bowl.

10-Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap is touching the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Chill the butterscotch pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it's fully set.
Serve the pudding with a dollop of whipped cream on top, if desired, and enjoy!




Note: You can also add a pinch of sea salt to the pudding to enhance the butterscotch flavor, or you can sprinkle some butterscotch chips or chopped nuts on top for added texture. Enjoy your delicious homemade butterscotch pudding!
