Rochelle’s Butterscotch Pudding @ The Point

The budino at Pizzeria Mozza started a modest resurgence of butterscotch-based desserts in restaurants. While the heavenly pudding deserves all the accolades in the world, pound for pound, Rochelle’s version at the Point delivers more punch in terms of burnt-buttery, caramelized-sugary flavor. Luckily, this Culver City lunch spot stocks its refrigerator with its most popular dessert, in servings packed to go. The portable plastic cup is hardly elegant, but the grab-and-go convenience gives us something better: instant gratification.
