So I just found out the difference between butterscotch and caramel. Butterscotch is made with brown sugar while caramel is made with granulated sugar. You can make this with either but obviously I recommend butterscotch- but your choice.
Ingredients:
For the base:
- Custard powder 1/4 cup
- Milk 4 cups
- Caramel sauce
- Graham crackers or any other cookie for the base*
- Caramel sauce
- Half a cup of sugar
- 3 tbsp. of butter
- peanuts or nut of choice**
Method:-
- Line your dish with the cookies or graham crackers. If you wish you could take it up the sides of the dish too instead of just the bottom, but I wouldn’t recommend that since it would be hard to cut through it.
- For this recipe you need 1 and a half batch of my caramel sauce recipe so prepare that before moving on to the custard since it needs to cool. I’ll link the recipe below.
- Next prepare your custard. I used vanilla custard powder; you can use any but this one probably works the best. Save a bit of the milk and add the rest to a pan.
- Dissolve the custard powder in the reserved milk and add it to the boiling milk
- Stir vigorously and add 1 batch of the caramel sauce. If you want your custard sweeter, add more sugar or decrease the amount of caramel.
- Cover the custard with cling film touching the surface and let it chill.
- Grease a silicon or a metal tin or plates lightly.
- Now melt the rest of the sugar. Once its melted, add the butter. Now stir in nuts of choice and immediately pour onto your greased surface.
- Once it has cooled crush the praline into pieces in sizes of your choice.
- Now we can start assembling.
- Spread the remaining half batch of caramel onto the cookies.
- Pour in your chilled custard and evenly spread.
- Finally garnish with the crushed praline.
- Serve chilled.
*You can sub the graham cracker with any cookie of your choice.
**You can also sub the peanuts with nuts of your choice. Also add as many nuts as you want there is no fixed measurement for this.
Notes:
Instead of using custard you can use whipped cream. Also you can stir in some of praline into the cream/custard. If you are using whipped cream, you can stir in a bit of the caramel sauce; not a whole batch. Also, add vanilla.
