Sea Salt Caramel Budino
This creamy, luscious budino embodies the luxurious combination of caramel and sea salt, resulting in a dessert that is both sophisticated and satisfyingly sweet.

Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pacific Blue® Kosher Flake Sea Salt for topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a deep amber color. This will take about 8–10 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream and whole milk. The mixture will bubble vigorously—be cautious! Return to low heat and stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the warm caramel mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Once combined, pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in sea salt. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a measuring cup or bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.
- Divide the budino mixture into small serving dishes or jars. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle a small pinch of Pacific Blue® Kosher Flake Sea Salt on top to enhance the flavors. Enjoy this wonderfully rich and creamy budino as a delectable ending to any meal.
