Butterscotch Moonshine Pudding

WI3J5664
I absolutely love butterscotch, but have never really been able to eat a lot of it. Milk. Of course, milk! But I made this butterscotch moonshine pudding using almond milk and a dash more corn starch to thicken it. Combine that with some thick spiced chocolate pudding and moonshine cream, it just may be the perfect goodbye to fall dessert ever.

Oh yeah, did I mention it has moonshine in it!? Not cooked off moonshine taste, but real, honest to god, moonshine combined with the butterscotch at the very very end of the process to maintain its level of alcohol and taste, of course. Where in the heck do you get moonshine, you ask. Well, Ole Smoky Moonshine is based right here in Tennessee and you can buy it HERE!
