In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and combined.
Add dulce de leche and place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks. Once the milk mixture is hot but not boiling, slowly whisk about 1/2 cup into the yolks to temper them.
Slowly pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour pudding into individual serving dishes and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Top with whipped cream and garnish with grated chocolate or caramel sauce before serving, if desired.
