Description
Butterscotch Pudding Delight is a creamy and rich dessert that combines the flavors of brown sugar and vanilla, topped with a delicious sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Gradually add the whole milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the hot water with the remaining brown sugar until dissolved.
- Pour the butterscotch pudding into a serving dish or individual ramekins. Carefully pour the hot water mixture over the pudding.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
- Let the pudding sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to form.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt to the pudding mixture.
- You can also substitute the pecans with chocolate chips or shredded coconut for a different twist.
