Egg free Butterscotch Pudding
Butterscotch pudding is one of those desserts that I don’t really make all that often, but when I do it is such a treat. I love that my recipe produces a creamy finished product that’s not overly sweet – lets be real, some peoples puddings are just too sweet – that’s not my style. Another thing I love is that this recipe really doesn’t require much – in fact it can be made fully with pantry ingredients. Have I mentioned that this is an EGG FREE/EGGLESS pudding recipe yet? Yes, indeed it is. For the recipe I’ve provided below, I indicate the use of half and half, however, if you don’t have this on hand in your fridge or you just got back from grocery shopping and forgot to pick this up – don’t you just hate when that happens?, no fear, you can simply use those cans of evaporated milk you have stowed away in your pantry. Like I said, super easy – completely fuss free! Once your pudding is done and has set in the friends, you eat it as it is or fold in some unsweetened whipped cream, if you want an even lighter pudding – totally up to you but delicious either way! Enjoy!

I’m about to try this recipe right now!!! and then maybe your spinach dip….
I tried it! Very easy, very good. Sets up great. I used milk and whipping cream to equal 3 cups because that’s what I had. It was so nice and smooth while I was making it that I thought I could walk away for a bit, but I was gone too long so it was a little lumpy. Can’t wait to try it again with half and half. The directions were a little confusing so I just added the milk to equal the 3 cups that it called for and it was great!! but that’s why I gave it 4 stars.
Hi there, I wanted to comment to thank you for sharing this recipe. It is incredible! I was looking for a pudding recipe using evaporated milk and cornstarch (no eggs) and found your recipe. I veganized it by using evaporated coconut milk and vegan butter. It was so easy and, yet, it tastes so wonderful. Thank you, again…I’ll be making this for years to come.
