Custard Spectacular Part 2: Pudding Two-Ways (Salty & Sweet) Bake it Up a Notch with Erin McDowell

CUSTARD SPECTACULAR PART 2:
In this episode of Bake it Up a Notch, Erin Jeanne McDowell dives further into the world of custards, taking on all-things-pudding, with stove-top renditions: Salty Butterscotch Pudding and Dairy-Free Coconut Pudding. In part two of three of her Custard Spectacular, Erin showcases her love for one of her favorite desserts. Here's what she has to say about them:

SALTY BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING:
"Pudding is truly in my top 3 favorite dessertsand while making it homemade requires more work than a box of the instant variety, its still so simple. This recipe calls for dark brown sugar, which gives a deeper color and more butterscotch flavor. If youve only got light brown sugarnever fear! It works well, tooand is also quite delicious. I also love making pudding cups in small jars in the summer, in part because the pudding also cools down fasterand I can eat it sooner. Though warm pudding is truly an under-appreciated comfort, and Ill usually have my first serving by spooning a bite or two from the pot I cooked it in. Another under-appreciated pudding byproduct? Pudding skin. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to avoid it and make the creamiest pudding."

COCONUT PUDDING (DAIRY FREE):
"Pudding is one of those especially friendly and forgiving recipes. Not only is it easy to make, and typically made with pantry staples, it can also easily be tweaked to suit a number of different dietary preferences. Take this dairy-free pudding, for example. It was born solely out of a desire to have a super creamy, ultra coconutty puddingwhich is when I realized it could so easily be a 100% dairy-free pudding, too. For more on pudding and other custards, be sure to check out the three-part Custard Spectacular on Bake it Up a Notch, where we dive deep into baked, stovetop, and cold-set custards."
