Cooking steps for Butterscotch Ice Cream

  1. 1
    Homemade butterscotch ice cream is indeed a blissful adventure that involves the rich flavours of caramel and the silky texture of ice cream.
  2. 2
    To begin this journey on the sweet side, take a saucepan and heat 100 gms of sugar over a low flame.
  3. 3
    You have to be very watchful of the sugar as it dissolves because it may burn if you are stirring too much in the process.
  4. 4
    The sugar will begin melting, and it will gradually start turning a appetizing golden colour.
  5. 5
    This takes patience because seeing it transform from sugar to luscious caramel is just mesmerising, and it needs to get that deep, rich flavour characteristic of butterscotch.
  6. 6
    Once the sugar has completely melted and begun warming towards a lovely amber, the liquid should slowly start being added.
  7. 7
    Slowly add in the warm water, stirring carefully because the mixture will foam and steam vigorously.
  8. 8
    Stir again and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. It is in this cooking time that butterscotch sauce develops its consistency, which lends well to the vastly loved ice cream with which it is paired.
  9. 9
    Cool for a few minutes after this brief cooking time, and then remove the saucepan from the heat to let the butterscotch sauce cool to room temperature.
  10. 10
    The reason for cooling is that hot ingredients cause whipped cream to deflate.
  11. 11
    In the meantime, concentrate on the ice cream base.
  12. 12
    Pour another 500 ml heavy cream into another mixing bowl.
  13. 13
    Whip up the cream with a wire whisk or electric mixer until it attains soft peaks.
  14. 14
    Whipped cream should be light and airy as it would be for the other ingredients to be added to it; in this case, the mixture.
  15. 15
    Be very careful not to overwhip, as it leads to grainy texture.
  16. 16
    Add 200 gms of sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream once they are ready.
  17. 17
    This adds sweetness but also to the creaminess of the final product.
  18. 18
    Gently fold in your condensed milk into whipped cream, but do it carefully so that you do not squeeze out the volume and airiness you have just created.
  19. 19
    With the sauce cooled, now it is time to put all the elements together.
  20. 20
    Pour the cooled butterscotch sauce into the cream mixture.
  21. 21
    Mix the sauce with the whipped cream and a spatula in a marbled fashion.
  22. 22
    This appetizing swirl effect is going to give you streaks of butterscotch throughout your cream and thus promises bursts in every bite.
  23. 23
    So now these two colours' bright contrast of rich butterscotch and light cream ice cream are going to provide an eye-catching and delectable base.
  24. 24
    Everything is mixed well and transferred into an airtight container, and then the top is smoothed with a spatula.
  25. 25
    Optimal texture and flavour are obtained if frozen for at least 6-8 hours or overnight.
  26. 26
    It is here that it chills and lets the flavours melt perfectly, thereby ensuring ice cream sets up to the right scoopable consistency.
  27. 27
    Enjoy it cold - either alone or with brownies and fresh fruits to indulge-sweet and creamy butterscotch ice cream whenever you want to.
  28. 28
    Each spoonful brings perfect creamy textures combined with bright, deep butterscotch flavours in a dessert, making it indeed great for any occasion.
  29. 29
    Whether it is a sunny summer day or a cosy winter night, a homemade recipe of butterscotch ice cream will surely impress and satisfy your sweet tooth. Enjoy the fruits of your labour with happy chews!

FAQs

What is butterscotch ice cream made of?

A good butterscotch ice cream usually consists of cream, milk, sugar, and a rich butterscotch sauce prepared from brown sugar, butter, and a bit of vanilla. Some recipes include egg yolks for a custard base, making the ice cream creamy. The distinctive flavour comes from the caramelisation of brown sugar, which gives it that mouthwatering sweetness with a slightly savoury taste to it.

How do I store butterscotch ice cream?

The butterscotch ice cream must be stored in an airtight container in the freezer to preserve its creamy texture and flavour. Press a piece of parchment paper onto its surface before sealing it with the lid so ice crystals don't form. It is optimal quality within two to three weeks, though it might last longer if stored well.

Can I do dairy-free butterscotch ice cream?

Absolutely! This variant can be made dairy-free by substituting regular milk and cream with coconut, almond, or cashew cream. Likewise, this should be made using a dairy-free butter substitute and vegan brown sugar. You can use so many dairy-free butterscotch sauce recipes to make it all the more delicious without using any milk. Treat yourself without having to compromise with your diet!
