Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce
• Sea salt flakes, for garnish

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and cornstarch mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
4. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5 minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
7. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into individual serving glasses or bowls, discarding any lumps.
8. Allow the budinos to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
9. Before serving, sprinkle butterscotch chips on top of each budino, drizzle with caramel sauce, and garnish with sea salt flakes for an extra burst of flavor.
10. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy and irresistible butterscotch budinos!
