| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Dark brown sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Cornstarch | 2 tbsp |
| Salt | 1/4 tsp |
| Whole milk | 2 cups |
| Heavy cream | 1/2 cup |
| Egg yolks | 3 |
| Unsalted butter | 2 tbsp |
| Vanilla extract | 1 tsp |
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream until the mixture is smooth.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until well combined. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs, then whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream or your favorite toppings.
Tips:
- Be sure to whisk the mixture constantly while cooking to prevent lumps from forming.
- If you prefer a thicker pudding, increase the amount of cornstarch by 1 tablespoon.
- For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half or all heavy cream instead of whole milk.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the butterscotch flavor.
