Butterscotch Pudding

This Dairy-Free Butterscotch Pudding is a rich and creamy dessert that captures the classic flavor of butterscotch while being suitable for those avoiding dairy. The pudding features a velvety texture and a sweet, caramel-like taste that makes it irresistible.

Ingredients

• Coconut milk - 400 ml
• Brown sugar - 100 g
• Cornstarch - 30 g
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Salt - 1/4 tsp
• Dairy-free butter - 2 tbsp
• Maple syrup - 1 tbsp

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and maple syrup. Whisk together until smooth.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the dairy-free butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
4. Pour the pudding into two serving bowls or cups, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
5. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with dairy-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of sea salt.
