I would think a wafer or gaufrette, definitely something crisp, so as to
provide a contrast in texture as well as flavor.

An oatmeal tuile? Maybe with the edge dipped in bittersweet
chocolate...mmmm (If you don't want to do it yourself I think Pepperidge
Farm has something similar)

I've never used butterscotch chips before. Are they real butterscotch
flavor or imitation? I've tasted them in cookies I didn't bake and didn't
care for the flavor. If they're imitation, I'd rather stick with my
totally homemade butterscotch pie filling that can be used as a pudding.

Having said that, I already suggested crisp wafers or gaufrettes. Tuiles
would be great, too. Anything crisp which will contribute a light and
different texture.

I think strong coffee will be fine. Butterscotch pudding is sweet
enough, any more accompanying sweetness will rot your teeth.

There you go again, assuming people have teeth! (Or at least the type that
rot.)

Thanks, Alice. I've copied down the Mercury News recipe because any pudd
that starts with 4 cups of heavy cream is worth noting. Someday I may even
have the nerve to make it.
