Creamy Butterscotch Pudding Recipes

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the milk and cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside. In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the brown sugar, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, to caramelize the mixture. You'll smell a characteristic nutty-caramel odor when the butter browns, signaling that the mixture is ready.
• Whisking constantly, gradually add the butter/brown sugar mixture to the hot milk/cream mixture. If the mixture isn't smooth, blend for 20 seconds with a hand blender or pour through a fine sieve. Put the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture. Whisk in the cornstarch and salt until dissolved. Whisk the cornstarch mixture back into the hot milk mixture in the saucepan. Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high heat until thick and just boiling. When the mixture thickens, the whisk will leave trail marks on the bottom of the pot and the mixture will have a few large bubbles boiling up to the top. Turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour into 6 to 8 custard cups, ramekins, or mugs and chill, uncovered, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.

HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl or a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan or saucier, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir with a whisk until well blended.
• Whisk in the milk and cream and place the pan over medium heat. Continue cooking, continually whisking, until the mixture is simmering and thickened.
• Remove the pan from the heat and quickly whisk about 1 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks.
• Return the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan and put it back over the heat. Continue cooking, continually whisking, until the mixture is simmering once again. Continue cooking and whisking for 1 minute. The eggs should be thoroughly cooked at this point. If in doubt, use an instant-read thermometer-the minimum safe temperature for eggs is 160 F (per FDA).
• Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and strain the pudding into the bowl. Whisk the butter into the pudding along with the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
• For individual servings, ladle the pudding into ramekins or dessert dishes and place them on a rimmed baking sheet or pan. Cover each serving with plastic wrap, pressing it onto the pudding to keep it from forming a skin. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Alternatively, leave the pudding in the larger bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the pudding to keep the air from forming a skin and then refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
• Top this pudding off with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of maple flakes, toasted coconut, or cinnamon-sugar, if desired.

CREAMY BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

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!

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• Put egg yolks, cornstarch and salt into a large heatproof bowl, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
• In a medium pot over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter, whisking, until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like hot caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don't walk away, or the mixture may burn.)
• Immediately pour the milk and cream into the pot. (It will bubble fiercely and seize up.) Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the clumps melt, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking yolks until smooth, then whisk in the remaining hot cream mixture. Pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan and place it over medium heat.
• Cook pudding, whisking constantly especially around the bottom and edges of the pot, until it comes to a full boil. (Don't worry about the eggs curdling. You're going to strain the mixture later.) Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring the mixture constantly, until it thickens enough to mound thickly on the spoon, 4 to 7 minutes. If at any point the pudding looks curdled, whisk to help smooth it out.
• Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a heatproof container or bowl, then stir in the Scotch or bourbon, if using, and vanilla. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding. (If you like the skin, don't cover pudding until it cools.) Chill for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• When serving, spoon pudding into dishes. Top with dollops of whipped cream, sour cream or crème fraîche, and any of the optional garnishes.
