Caramel Pudding with Cookie Butter Whipped Cream

So we’re less than a month from 2017, less than three weeks from Christmas and all I can think about is pudding. Yeah, pudding.

Silky sweet pudding. Pudding is safe. Not a lot of thinking goes on when you’re eating a nice cup (or bowl) of pudding. So, yeah. Let’s think about pudding today.

Caramel Pudding with Cookie Butter Whipped Cream
Ingredients
For the Caramel Pudding

• Whole milk - 4 cups
• Cornstarch - 1/4 cup
• Water - 6 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Granulated sugar - 1 cup + 1/2 cup

For the Biscoff cookie crumble

• Biscoff cookies - About 7 or 8
• Granulated sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Ground cinnamon - 1/8 teaspoon
• Pinch of salt
• Unsalted butter, melted - 1 scant tablespoon

For the cookie butter Whipped Cream

• Cookie butter - ½ cup
• Heavy cream - ½ cup
• Confectioners’ sugar - 1/3 cup
• Splash of vanilla extract

Instructions
Make the caramel pudding:

1. In a small bowl, combine about ¾ cup of milk with the cornstarch, vanilla and salt. Whisk until smooth and set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the 1 cup of the sugar with the water and bring to a boil over medium/high heat. Cook, without stirring until a deep amber caramel forms, anywhere from 7-8 minutes. Be sure to watch the mixture, as caramel has a tendency to go from gorgeous amber to burnt as hell. Once the mixture reaches the desired amber hue, remove from heat and gradually whisk in the remaining 3 ¼ cups of milk. Don’t worry if your caramel changes color. This is normal.
2. Add the remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar and return the pot to the stove. Whisk the mixture over medium/high heat until the caramel and sugar have dissolved. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens a bit and deepens in color, about 10 minutes or so.
3. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture into the caramel, whisking vigorously until the pudding thickens. This can take anywhere from one minute to at most, five.
