Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly.
2. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the warm milk mixture to create a slurry. Slowly whisk this slurry back into the saucepan.
4. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butterscotch chips until melted and smooth.
6. Divide the pudding into serving dishes and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with caramel sauce on top.
7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld.
