Ingredients
Butterscotch Budino
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 large egg yolks
- 5 tbsp cornstarch
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- flaky sea salt for topping (See Note 1)
Butterscotch Topping
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp Flaky sea salt (See Note 1)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Butterscotch Budino
- Combine the heavy cream and milk and set aside.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat, stir the brown sugar, a half cup of water and the salt. Cook until the sugar is melted and smells caramelized, 10 minutes.
- Immediately whisk in the cream and milk mixture (the mixture will steam and the butterscotch will seize, but it will become smooth again with continued whisking).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn heat to low.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, egg yolks, and cornstarch. Add 1 cup of the hot butterscotch mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk egg mixture back into the remaining butterscotch.
- Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, until the custard is very thick, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to scorch the bottom of the mixture and custard thickens.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla. At this stage you can either use a blending wand/stick tp puree to smooth OR strain the custard through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps. Divide among eight 6-ounce ramekins, 7 ounce custard jars or serving bowls. I use these Mini Tulip Jelly Jar with Glass Lids.
- Allow to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2-3 hours.
Brown Sugar Caramel (Butterscotch Sauce)
- Melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar, salt, vanilla and heavy cream and stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until it's well blended. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping down the sides occasionally, and boil it for 4 to 5 minutes. Mixture should no longer be grainy, but smooth.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and transfer the butterscotch sauce to a container to cool slightly. If butterscotch thickens too much see Note 2.
- Top each butterscotch custard with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the warm butterscotch sauce and a pinch of the sea salt flakes.
Notes
- I use Maldon Sea Salt Flakes or Fluer de sel.
- If the butterscotch thickens too much, add a tablespoon or two of heavy cream and whisk to a smoother consistency OR place container holding butterscotch in a saucepan of hot water to loosen, being careful not to full submerge and allow water to touch butterscotch. Whisk to smooth out sauce and then pour immediately over custards.
