CREAMY BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Categories     dessert

Time 4h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Whipped cream, for serving
Flaky salt, such as Maldon, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup and salt to a medium saucepot. Turn the heat to medium-high and allow the sugar to caramelize until it becomes deep amber and begin to smoke slightly, about 8 minutes. Add the heavy cream and milk and stir until the caramel melts back down (it will firm up when the milk goes in). Reduce the heat to medium.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch, eggs and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Add a cup of the caramel to the eggs, mixing vigorously until combined, then add the egg mixture to the caramel and stir to temper. Mix constantly until it starts to bubble and thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir to combine. Pour the pudding into 4 serving cups and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the pudding is cool and set, 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Dollop each serving with whipped cream and sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt. Enjoy!

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Categories     dessert

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 cups whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
1 cup heavy cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the milk and cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside. In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the brown sugar, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, to caramelize the mixture. You'll smell a characteristic nutty-caramel odor when the butter browns, signaling that the mixture is ready.
  • Whisking constantly, gradually add the butter/brown sugar mixture to the hot milk/cream mixture. If the mixture isn't smooth, blend for 20 seconds with a hand blender or pour through a fine sieve. Put the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture. Whisk in the cornstarch and salt until dissolved. Whisk the cornstarch mixture back into the hot milk mixture in the saucepan. Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high heat until thick and just boiling. When the mixture thickens, the whisk will leave trail marks on the bottom of the pot and the mixture will have a few large bubbles boiling up to the top. Turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour into 6 to 8 custard cups, ramekins, or mugs and chill, uncovered, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.

INSTANT POT RICE PUDDING



Instant Pot Rice Pudding image

Rice pudding prepared in an electric pressure cooker is both speedy and simple - the kind of thing you can whip up in minutes in between other kitchen tasks. This version calls for short-grain rice, which turns plump and pleasingly sticky as it cooks in a combination of milk and heavy cream. Adding a vanilla bean lends deeply aromatic notes, but if you don't have one, just stir 1 tablespoon vanilla extract into the pudding along with the egg yolks. Or skip the vanilla and add a teaspoon of whole cardamom pods to the pot to round out the spicy flavor of the cinnamon. Whipped cream might be overkill on a pudding this rich, but only in the very best way.

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup arborio or other short-grain rice
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick
1 (4-inch) strip orange or lemon zest, peeled with a vegetable peeler (optional)
1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped with the tip of a paring knife, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Large pinch of fine sea salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Ground cinnamon or cardamom, for serving (optional)
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In the pressure cooker pot, stir together the rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, orange zest (if using), vanilla bean and seeds, and salt.
  • Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid and discard the cinnamon stick, orange zest and vanilla bean.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and yolks. Whisk into the rice and continue to stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. (It will still look soupy at this point.) The residual heat of the rice will cook the yolks, and chilling will thicken the pudding. Stir in the raisins, if using.
  • Spoon the pudding into serving bowls, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or cardamom and whipped cream, if you'd like.
