Time 4h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Whipped cream, for serving
Flaky salt, such as Maldon, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup and salt to a medium saucepot. Turn the heat to medium-high and allow the sugar to caramelize until it becomes deep amber and begin to smoke slightly, about 8 minutes. Add the heavy cream and milk and stir until the caramel melts back down (it will firm up when the milk goes in). Reduce the heat to medium.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch, eggs and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Add a cup of the caramel to the eggs, mixing vigorously until combined, then add the egg mixture to the caramel and stir to temper. Mix constantly until it starts to bubble and thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir to combine. Pour the pudding into 4 serving cups and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the pudding is cool and set, 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Dollop each serving with whipped cream and sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt. Enjoy!

RICH AND CREAMY BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING



RICH AND CREAMY BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING image

Categories     Candy     Egg     Dessert     Valentine's Day

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups plus 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons Scotch
1 1/2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon water
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 large egg yolks
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
1 cup butterscotch chips (6 ounces)
Whipped cream and store-bought caramel sauce, for serving (see Note)

Steps:

  • 1. Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Set a fine mesh sieve in another medium bowl; set the bowl in the ice water bath. 2. In a small skillet, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream with the Scotch, brown sugar, water and salt and cook over moderate heat just until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool slightly. 3. Put the egg yolks in a medium bowl. In a heavy, medium saucepan, bring the remaining 3 1/2 cups of cream to a simmer with the vanilla bean and seeds. Remove from the heat. Add the butterscotch chips to the hot cream and let stand until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Gradually add the hot butterscotch mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly. 4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until thick, about 15 minutes. Do not let it boil. Strain the pudding into the bowl in the ice bath and stir in the Scotch mixture. 5. Pour the pudding into glasses and refrigerate until thoroughly set, at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve the pudding with whipped cream and caramel sauce. MAKE AHEAD The pudding can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pudding will taste. Use real butter, heavy cream, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Cook the pudding slowly and carefully: Don't rush the process. The pudding needs to be cooked slowly and carefully over low heat in order to prevent it from curdling or scorching.
  • Stir the pudding constantly: This will help to prevent it from curdling or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings: Whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chopped nuts are all great options.

Conclusion:

Creamy butterscotch pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a classic dessert that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
