Butterscotch Ice Cream recipe
Butterscotch ice cream is a delicious and creamy dessert that can be made easily at home with just a few simple ingredients. This recipe typically calls for heavy cream, whole milk, dark brown sugar, and egg yolks. The process involves heating the cream, milk, and sugar until the sugar dissolves, then whisking in the egg yolks and cooking the mixture until it thickens. The mixture is then chilled and churned in an ice cream maker until it reaches a smooth and creamy texture. Butterscotch ice cream is perfect on its own or as a topping for other desserts, and is sure to impress your family and friends with its rich and indulgent flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cream and milk, and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the sugar and egg yolk mixture, while whisking constantly.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
- Cover the surface of the custard with a plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
