Indulge in decadent butterscotch budino topped with Chef John's salted caramel sauce for a luxurious Italian custard experience.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 0.75 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon white rum
Instructions:
  • In a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix brown sugar, salt, and water over medium-high heat. Allow it to boil until the caramel is very dark and bubbles form, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat right away.
  • Whisk in 2 tablespoons of butter, then pour in the heavy cream and stir gently as the mixture simmers. Be cautious, as it may bubble up. Keep stirring over medium-low heat until the sugar completely dissolves, then whisk in the milk.
  • In a mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together a whole egg, egg yolks, and 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of hot cream mixture to balance the temperature. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook and whisk until the mixture thickens, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove lumps, then whisk in the rum.
  • Transfer the mixture into elegant serving glasses. Allow it to cool naturally until it reaches room temperature, approximately 20 minutes. Afterward, wrap the glasses in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator to chill perfectly for 3 to 4 hours.
