Earlier this week, I had a lunch meeting at Gjelina, one of my all time favorite spots on the West side. Luckily, with four women in the group, there was no question whether dessert would be ordered or not. The butterscotch budino is ranks high as one of my favorites, and I love how it's served in a coffee cup. Wouldn't be a bad thing to wake up to, hunh? — Joy

waking up to a butterscotch budino sounds like the perfect way to start the day! yummm. this restaurant is pretty much another reason i need to make a trip down to socal soon!!
This thing looks delicious, although I have no idea what it actually is.
Hi Kanelstrand,
Its basically butterscotch pudding! (Budino means pudding in Italian). This version is thicker and more rich than the kind we all probably had as a kid!

butterscotch is so underrated, love it.
been dying to try gjelina. hear so many great things.
Joy, you’re making me hungry! I must haul my cookies to Gjelina this weekend!
Joy, your post with the pancake and lemon custard earlier in the week has given me the biggest craving that still has not gone away! Now you’ve gone and done this…I love you and hate you all at the same time! A girl does not need to be tempted so much. Then again, I won’t object to another food post, and I promise my love for you and your blog is far greater than my hatred towards your delicious food posts that always seem to be staring me in the face.
LOL….sorry sarah! 😉

That looks good. Oh so good.

Looks extremely rich. Wondering what the other three desserts were:)
i’ve never seen a butterscotch budino before and now i’m craving it!
sweet tooth activated.
Holy moly! That looks divine!
Hi Joy, I found your blog recently and I love it! This desert looks amazing, I wish I could eat that spoonful right off the page. Thanks for sharing!
It is hands down my absolute favorite dessert. So amazing! Only bad thing about Gjelina is it is located directly across the street from where I work out which causes me to want this dessert three times a week!
so excited! going there friday and must try this! i always have a list of foods/places to try after reading your blog.
