Peanut Butter Butterscotch Pudding Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set side.
• In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth and combined. Add both sugars and beat to combine. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture all at once and beat until just combined. Stir in about 2/3 cup of butterscotch chips (reserving the rest for topping the cookies).
• Scoop the dough into balls (I use a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop), and place a couple inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press a few of remaining butterscotch chips on top of the dough balls. Bake for 8-11 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown, but the center is still slightly underdone. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, and place the sheets on wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough, allowing the cookie sheets to cool COMPLETELY before placing dough on them.

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!

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat cream over moderately low heat until warm. While cream is heating, in a 3-quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderate heat and stir in brown sugar. Cook sugar mixture, stirring occasionally, until mixture is bubbling all over and appears smooth, about 5 minutes. Carefully add warm cream (mixture will bubble and steam) and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until sugar mixture is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat.
• In a large metal bowl or top of a double boiler whisk together milk, yolks, cornstarch, and salt. Add warm butterscotch mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly, and set bowl or top of double boiler over a saucepan of simmering water. Cook pudding, whisking constantly, 10 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Cover bowl or top of double boiler and cook pudding, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes more.
• Remove bowl or top of double boiler from pan and cool pudding 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Divide hot pudding among six 1-cup ramekins or other heatproof dishes. Chill puddings, covered (if you don't want skins to form) or uncovered (if you do want skins to form), until cold, at least 3 hours, and up to 2 days. Serve puddings topped with whipped cream.

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.
