Cream Au Caramel-Caramel Pudding

This dessert tasted like a very creamy version of butterscotch icecream to my Mom and she loved it…To my surprise. May be because of the taste of caramelized sugar she says. You see my mom dislikes milk and milk related dishes. So it came as a surprise when she tasted my newly made dessert and a smile flashed across her face… I was overjoyed when she tagged the milky dessert ‘’nice’’

Well like how my mom said it’s the taste of caramelized sugar that gives this dish its unique rich taste. You can even caramelize some cashewnuts into praline and add it to the dessert to enhance its flavour.

While my mother and I tasted our first scoop of the dessert Aniket was busy with something else. When he realised we were happily tasting something in his absence he tiptoed to my side and tugged at my dress. I fed him a little of the caramel pudding and there u go again….when I  saw the glee on his face I knew one more Caramel pudding fan will be added to the list-LIL Aniket.

Another wonderful dessert for you then. Yes by the end of the day we had our fill of the dessert. I'm not going to save it for tomorrow also. Never mind I told myself. I’m making some more again tomorrow.
