No Churn Butterscotch Ice Cream
Ingredients
TO MAKE BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar
INGREDIENTS FOR WHIPPED CREAM
- 3 cups Heavy Whipping Cream (liquid)
- A pinch of Salt
ICE CREAM INGREDIENTS
- 14 oz Sweetened Condensed milk
- 1/4 cup Dry Milk powder
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (liquid)
- 3/4 cup Crushed Nuts
- 2 teaspoon Butterscotch essence
- 1/8 teaspoon Saffron mixed in warm water or use yellow food coloring (optional)
Instructions
MAKING OF PRALINE - BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS
- Add all the two ingredients listed under "Butterscotch ingredients" in a heavy bottomed pan.
- Cook until all the three ingredients are well blended and thick.
- Transfer this mix onto a parchment paper and allow it to cool.
- Cut into pieces, and homemade butterscotch chips are ready.
MAKING OF WHIPPED CREAM
- Before you start, chill the balloon electric whisk attachment and bowl in the refrigerator for an hour. Pour whipping cream and a pinch of salt to the chilled bowl.
- Turn the mixer or hand blender to medium speed and start whipping the cream. Within 2- 3 minutes, the cream will begin to get frothy and thicken up, whip until it forms a firm peak.
- To check if the whipped cream has the right consistency - remove the whisk/blender from the mixer/base. Turn it upside down and if the whipped cream maintains its soft peak firmly without falling off the blade - it's ready to use and is perfect. Whipped cream is all set.
ASSEMBLING ICE CREAM
- Assemble ingredients for ice cream.
- For yellow color - Soak saffron strands in 3 tablespoons of warm milk. Or you could use yellow food coloring.
- Roughly chop almonds and cashews.
- In a bowl combine whipped cream (that we had prepared earlier), along with milk powder, Butterscotch essence, and condensed milk.
- Add yellow color or strain the saffron color into the bowl.
- Gently fold in all the ingredients. Do not whisk, fold gently.
- Add the chopped nuts. If you like a nutty ice cream add 3/4 cup of chopped/crushed nuts but if you prefer fewer nuts in your ice cream than add 1/2 cup of chopped/crushed nuts.
- Crush some of the butterscotch chips with a rolling pin and add it to the ice cream mix.
- Pour in the cream.
- Mix to combine. Transfer ice cream to a freezer safe bowl (9 x 5-inch pan) and freeze until firm.
- Once set, remove from freezer and enjoy!
- A creamy and silky ice-cream ready in a snap!
Dee Jai says
Can this be made lower fat with light whipping cream instead of heavy whipping cream?
Ruchi says
Dee, I wouldn’t suggest that.
Because light cream contains 20% of milk fat and it will not hold its stability or form soft peaks like heavy whipping cream which contains 35-38% of milk fat.
Trupti Mehta says
What can you use instead of coconut oil for butterscotch?
Ruchi says
Trupti, you can skip coconut oil altogether and proceed with just butter and sugar.
Sneha says
Hey Ruchi ! What’s the difference between heavy whipping cream and cream ?
Ruchi says
Sneha, it’s the same thing.
Have updated the recipe. 😊
Anna says
Any substitute of butter scotch essence?
Ruchi says
You can use vanilla essence instead.
Ritik says
Which heavy cream did you use? Does it have to be unsweetened?
Ruchi says
I have used Land’o’lakes Heavy whipping cream. It’s the unsweetened one.
Studentsim says
