One glass of this gorgeous gooey butterscotch pudding will not be enough for sure!
If you like caramel, you are definitely going to like butterscotch. Do you know there is only one difference between caramel and butterscotch sauce; caramel uses white sugar whereas butterscotch is made up of brown sugar, rest all ingredients(heavy cream, vanilla and butter) is the same. To be honest, the recipe at first glance may seem a little too much, but really, it is way easier than it looks.
You will be surprised how with not many ingredients one can make such a tasty dessert. I have used glasses to serve but you can use bowls as well. In order to stabilize the pudding I have used jelling agent known as Agar Agar powder. This powder is available on Amazon AU. But you can substitute Agar Agar powder with the Jel-It-In from Queen Foods. The recipe calls for the pudding to be made first as it needs to be refrigerated before the butterscotch sauce is poured as a layer on it, otherwise if the pudding hasn't set, and the sauce is too hot, it will pierce through the pudding. The Butterscotch sauce was so yum, and while I was at it, I made some Caramel sauce as well- you can do so too. You can easily make a batch of each sauce and store it in the refrigerator for a week. You can then drizzle the sauce on ice-cream, brownie, or just add into a milkshake. If you do make the butterscotch pudding, do not forget to tag me @thewhiskjournal on Instagram.
