Butterscotch Pudding
This classic American dessert is prepared with caramelized brown sugar that is blended with a creamy mixture of butter, milk, and eggs. When cooked, it transforms into a thick, velvety custard which is traditionally served well-chilled, merely topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
Although not much is known about the origin of this creamy delicacy, the term butterscotch was originally used to refer to the famous English confectionery created in 1817, but today it mostly describes various sauces or custards produced by cooking sugar and butter.

"This is a fancy version - served in a martini glass with a swoosh of chocolate and dollop of whipped cream, as well as a sizeable chocolate-almond biscotti on the side. This is a thick, dense yet incredibly creamy pudding - just the texture I like - with a slightly boozy finish and a deep butterscotch taste that wasn’t cloying. I told myself I was going to eat only half. What a lie. Of course, I finished it."
