Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1.5 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 15 count shortbread cookies
• 2 cups whipped cream
• 0.5 cups toffee bits

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 2-3 minutes) and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1.5 cups of heavy cream, milk, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan with the butterscotch mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 4

Return the saucepan to low-medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (around 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the pudding cools, crush the shortbread cookies into small pieces (a food processor works well, or use a rolling pin and a zip-top bag for a chunkier texture).

Step 6

To assemble the Butterscotch Bombshell, layer the crushed shortbread cookies at the bottom of a glass or dessert cup. Add a layer of butterscotch pudding, followed by a layer of whipped cream.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process until the glass is full, ending with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle toffee bits generously over the top for a crunchy finish.

Step 9

Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve cold and enjoy your Butterscotch Bombshell!
