Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the packed brown sugar, cornstarch, and granulated sugar to the saucepan, stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble and the sugars have dissolved.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream, ensuring the mixture is smooth without any lumps.
Step 4
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until it begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract and sea salt.
Step 6
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins.
Step 7
Cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Step 9
Before serving, stir the pudding to smooth it out and enjoy your low sodium butterscotch pudding!
