How to make the recipe

Making butter scotch sauce

• Melt butter in a pot on a medium heat.
• Add brown sugar and milk.
• Stir together and bring it to a boil.
• Simmer for 5 minutes on a medium to low flame.
• The sauce turns slightly thicker but still of pouring consistency. Pour vanilla. Turn off the heat and cool completely.
• Butterscotch sauce turns slightly thick when it cools down. Store it in a cool dry jar  and refrigerate. This keeps good for about 3 to 4 weeks.

Preparation for butterscotch ice cream recipe

Please do not gauge the quantities of ingredients in the pictures. I had tripled the sauce quantities and doubled the basic icecream recipe. Hence the quantities you see in the pictures will not match those in the recipe card.

1. I had prepared the praline and butter scotch sauce days ahead of making the icecream. You can do the same.

2. Add butter to a pan and begin to melt it. Add brown sugar.

3. Pour milk. Usually for butterscotch sauce cream is used. But I felt using cream makes the ice cream extra fat and creamy. So milk is a better choice here.

4. Mix and bring it to a boil on a medium flame.

5. When it begins to boil, simmer for 5 minutes on a medium to low flame. Add vanilla extract.

6. The mixture turns slightly thick but still of pouring consistency. Turn off the stove and cool it completely.

7. Transfer to a glass jar and refrigerate until used.

8. Chill the bowl and attachments for at least overnight to 24 hours. Also chill the cream.

9. Pour the chilled cream to the bowl. Begin to whip on a low speed.

10. Whip on a medium speed until you see stiff peaks. Do not over whip the cream.

11. Pour condensed milk.

12. Pour the sauce. The sauce turns slightly thick after cooling but should be still of pouring consistency. If it is too thick, you can add little milk and mix it.

13. Gently mix all of them without deflating the cream.

14. Taste it and add more condensed milk if desired.

15. Pour little sauce.

16. Sprinkle praline.

17. Place a cling wrap on to the cream. This helps to prevent ice crystals. Cover and freeze until set. I freezed it for 15 hours. Since this is not churned in a machine, it is best to finish it in a couple of days. Ice crystals may form if kept for many days.
