## Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 ounces dark brown sugar
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 ounces white granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- graham cracker crust
- whipped cream

## Instructions

1. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 6 ounces by weight of dark brown sugar to a pot.
2. Put the pot over medium heat for a couple of minutes until the brown sugar dissolves and the butter smells like butter toast.
3. Carefully add 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream to the pot.
4. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent the sugar from sticking.
5. Stir in about a half teaspoon of kosher salt.
6. Add 2 ounces by weight of white granulated sugar to four egg yolks.
7. Whisk until the egg yolks are smooth.
8. Whisk in a quarter cup of cornstarch.
9. Temper the egg mixture by adding a small amount of the hot liquid from the pot into the eggs while whisking, to slowly bring up the temperature of the eggs.
10. Once the bowl feels warm to the touch, add the egg mixture back into the hot liquid in the pot.
11. Put the pot back over medium heat and whisk, feeling it thicken against the bottom of the pan.
12. Continue whisking until it gets thicker and little bubbles form on the surface of the pudding.
13. Once bubbles form, let it bubble for about 60 seconds and then cut the heat.
14. Whisk in about a tablespoon of vanilla extract.
15. Let it cool slightly and serve it warm or put it into smaller containers and refrigerate.
16. Garnish with some very simple graham cracker crust and whipped cream.
