Butterscotch Pudding

By srumbel

I was originally thinking Chocolate Pudding, which is really just the Chocolate Pie Filling I always make, but then I decided to make Butterscotch Pudding instead! It requires the simplest of changes: rather than white sugar, I use brown…and I leave out the chocolate. Simple as pie

Preparation

Step 1

Gently whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium nonstick pan.

In a separate pitcher or bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolks. Pour it into the pan with the brown sugar mixture and stir to combine.

Turn on the heat to medium and cook, stirring gently, until the mixture just starts to bubble up/get very thick. (This can take a good 10 minutes or so.) When it reaches pudding consistency, stir in the butter until melted, then remove it from the heat and spoon it into bowls, glasses (be careful; mixture is hot), demitasse cups, etc. Chill the pudding for at least 1 hour or until very cold.

Top with unsweetened whipped cream and serve!
