{TWD} Real Butterscotch Pudding

You know that friend that came over the other day? Well, he has this thing for butterscotch. So I found the timing for this pudding quite intriguing. It was a perfect day to make Real Butterscotch Pudding.

Whenever I have thought of butterscotch, I think what came to mind were butterscotch chips and pudding cups with caramel colored cream inside. Never had I ever considered that butterscotch actually meant butter and scotch...and brown sugar. This was my chance to taste *real* butterscotch and I was excited!

But...the recipe...it was...involved...to say the least. Food processor? Since when does pudding require a food processor. I know, if I had one and actually used it for this recipe, I may never go back. I do have a blender, but sometimes I just have to draw my limits. On this particular day when my kitchen was already being stocked with a lunch feast, I couldn't fathom bringing the blender out...or worse...cleaning it.

I was not going to let the "required" food processor stop me in any way, so I pressed forward. The taste of the pudding was incredible - I loved it! I think I took it off the heat too soon and although it seemed to be on its way to firm when I placed it in the fridge, it did no such thing during the four hour rest I gave it.

Butterscotch soup it was! Again, not letting anything stop my butterscotch tasting experience, I served the bowls of butterscotch soup with banana cakes (I set out to make these as written when I found I had *no more* butterscotch chips...so these turned out as chocolate vanilla banana swirl cakes). We devoured them, it was all delicious! My friends felt like the scotch was rather prevalent, I felt otherwise. I am just glad it didn't taste like butter though.

I liked butterscotch so much, I used the flavor ideas to create something else...coming soon!
