This Homemade Butterscotch Custard is smooth and creamy and incredibly delicious! If you like butterscotch pudding you will love this easy homemade custard!
I have to admit that butterscotch is not my favorite flavor. However, I love butterscotch pudding! My husband looooooves butterscotch, so this was made with him in mind. Of course, my kids happily ate some too!
As you can see from the photos, the idea here was to make butterscotch custard pie bars. While they tasted amazing, they were not firm enough to hold a bar shape. I appologize for the misleading photos :/  The bar idea was a flop, but the custard was definitely a win! I suggest serving it in mini pie crusts or just eat it plain from a little glass bowl. I wanted to remake it to photograph that way instead buuuuuut I just didn’t have the time.  That’s what happens when you have 9 million projects going and 4 small children to take care of. Don’t hold it against me, k? Thanks.
Now go make some butterscotch custard!

Butterscotch is one of those flavors I tend to forget about. Bookmarking this so I can remember to make it soon. I love how simple it is!
Elizabeth @ Food Ramblings says
I love anything butterscotch– so good!
Kathy @ Beyond the Chicken Coop says
What a cute little dessert. We never think about using butterscotch. This will be one to try!
Kirsten/ComfortablyDomestic says
I totally get the 9 million things to do while taking care of 4 kids thing. I’d still eat those butterscotch pie bars! Of course, shoveling the pudding in my pie hole with a spoon is much more efficient. 😉
Lauren @ Healthy Delicious says

Bea says

You might not be too happy with how your bars turned out, but I think they look (and sound) delicious. LOVE butterscotch!
Nutmeg Nanny says
I love homemade puddings and custards – so comforting. I would gladly eat this in giggly bar form, in a bowl or or straight out of the pot 🙂
Kate @ Diethood says
Oooh girrrrl! This sounds waaaaay awesome! And it’s beautiful!

I’m all about the butterscotch custard but I’m going to have to figure out a way to make those bars! Holy, they look so good!
Kim Beaulieu says
What a fun recipe, and personally I like gooey bars so I would just roll with it. I’ll have to try this for hubs, he’s such a butterscotch lover. I don’t make it enough.
Ginny McMeans says
I hate it when recipes won’t cooperate. It seems like it turned out to be a blessing though because butterscotch pudding sounds great!
Colleen (Souffle Bombay) says
My grandmom would be all over this – she adores butterscotch!
Beth says
I’m not a big fan of butterscotch chips but like you I like butterscotch pudding.. I wonder why that is! I would definitely try this custard, between cookies or with graham cracker crumbs 🙂

I have a few butterscotch loving boys in my house that would dig this.

At a glance I read mustard but then at a closer look I saw custard. I love custard of any sorts and this butterscotch in particular looks delicious!

They look fantastic. Too gooey? I’ll eat them from a pan with a spoon. 🙂
