How to Make Bread And Butter Pudding With Butterscotch Sauce Lighter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease two 1-cup ramekins with butter.
  3. Cut 4 slices of bread into small cubes (approximately 1 cup).
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and brush lightly over the bread cubes.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend until pale and fluffy.
  6. Whisk in 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1/2 orange until well combined.
  7. Gently stir in the bread cubes and 1/2 cup chocolate chips until most of the liquid is absorbed. (Optional: Add 1/2 cup of bananas tossed in 1 tablespoon of orange juice)
  8. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins.
  9. Topping: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  10. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pudding.
  11. Place the ramekins in a small baking dish and pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  12. Bake for 50 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  13. Butterscotch Sauce: In a 2-cup glass Pyrex, whisk together 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
  14. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1 tablespoon butter.
  15. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  16. Reheat if necessary before serving.
  17. To serve: Drizzle the hot butterscotch sauce generously over the warm puddings. Top with a dollop of light whipped cream, if desired.
