Tips to make the best Eggless Butterscotch Ice Cream
» You can swap coconut oil for butter in butterscotch making method.
» Allergic to cashews, use nuts of your choice. Pistachios taste equally good.
» Always use heavy whipping cream. Heavy whipping cream contains 35-38% of milk fat, which will lend a lusciously creamy texture to this eggless butterscotch ice cream.
» For deep yellow color, add 1/2 teaspoon of saffron strands.
» Feel free to add a couple of drops of yellow color to the ice cream.
» This eggless butterscotch ice cream will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month, only if it lasts that long!
» Always store the ice cream in the freezer on a shelf and not on the door shelf.

No Churn Butterscotch Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS
TO MAKE BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- ¾ 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
- ¼ cup Dry Milk powder
- ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream (liquid)
- ¾ cup Crushed Nuts
- 2 teaspoons Butterscotch essence
- ⅛ teaspoon Saffron strands
INSTRUCTIONS
MAKING OF PRALINE – BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS
- Add butter, coconut oil, and brown sugar 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 pralines are ready.
HOMEMADE 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.
ASSEMBLE ICE CREAM
- For yellow color – Soak saffron strands in 3 tablespoons of warm milk. Or you could use yellow food coloring.
- 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. For a nuttier ice cream add ¾ cup of chopped/crushed nuts but if you prefer fewer nuts in your ice cream than add ½ a 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!
SP says
Recipe looks delicious. Btw where do u get butterscotch essence in US? I saw one on amazon not sure about the flavor though
Ruchi says
Thank you, SP!
I have this butterscotch essence, and it tastes great!
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
