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
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and cornstarch mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
- Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- 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.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into individual serving glasses or bowls, discarding any lumps.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy and irresistible butterscotch budinos!
