Butterscotch Pot de Crème

May 8th, 2012

There are a lot of great desserts in L.A., but none of them are quite as special as Gjelina’s Butterscotch Pot de Crème (Pizzeria Mozza’s Butterscotch Budino is a close second). It’s pretty much a weekend staple for me, which is kind of horrifying seeing as I now know just how much butter/heavy cream/crème fraîche is involved. It’s an insanely rich butterscotch pudding served with a dollop of whipped crème fraîche, a drizzle of caramel, and finished with a flaky sea salt. At the restaurant, they’re served in coffee cups, but these vintage teacups made for an even cuter presentation (and would be perfect if you’re planning a Mother’s Day brunch this weekend).

I’ve had these at Gjelina numerous times and have made these for dinner parties even more times. A little scary to know what’s in them but they’re all around winners!

Your domestic abilities never fail to amaze me. I can’t wait to see how wonderfully spoiled your future kids will be (that is, if you have kids…fingers crossed though. They will be so adorable).
