Butterscotch Pudding, Aarrgh!

Because it is the weekend 

I'm going to keep this post short and sweet! 

Today was 

(Inter)National Talk Like a Pirate day 

and 

the kids and I had a blast with it. 

We talked like pirates before school, 

we talked like pirates after, 

and we even 

made a video 

that won't upload for some strange reason. :-(

 It's pretty funny

and I promise to keep trying to

get it on here! 

Okay, so, 

National Butterscotch Day... 

I've never had butterscotch pudding

and to be completely honest, 

I wasn't looking forward to making it. 

 I thought it was going to be this 

tedious ordeal 

for some mediocre dessert.

Would you believe it if I told you I was

completely mistaken? 

Seriously, I was. 

  I found an awesome recipe here and

the whole thing took about 10 minutes
 to make from start to finish. 

Crazy right? 

It's chilling in the fridge as I write this 

and another kicker? 

It doesn't have to set for 3+ hours or overnight! 

This badboy is ready for you in about an hour,

if that long. 

Even better, 

it's delicious! 

I don't know if you are, but I'm a huge fan of 

salted caramel anything 

and that's kind of what it reminds me of...

It's so good guys, 

creamy good deliciousness. 

Ready for it? 

I know you are.

Here are pictures... 

Ingredients: 1/2 cup - Dark Brown Sugar, 2 TBSP + 2 TSP Cornstarch, 1/4 TSP - Salt, 2 TBSP - Unsalted Butter (cut into pieces), 1 TSP - Vanilla, 1 1/2 Cup - Whole Milk, 1/2 Cup - Heavy Cream

And of course I wasn't going to leave you without the recipe! 

Easy Butterscotch Pudding

Directions

Mix together sugar, milk, cream, salt, and cornstarch, 

bring to boil over medium-high heat

Let the mixture boil while whisking for 1 minute exactly!

Take the mixture off of the heat and stir in butter & vanilla

Pour the mix into a glass bowl and cover, 

place in the fridge for as long as you'd like. 

(I did an hour)

Come back, bowl up, and enjoy. 

So light and creamy, of course I had to add vanilla ice cream too (Cool Whip works just as good!). I think it's becoming a signature thing I do. Haha!

Enjoy!

Tomorrow is
National Eat an Apple Day
National Punch Day
