Tips to make Butterscotch Ice Cream

Whip the cream to soft peaks before adding other ingredients for a light and airy texture.
Add butterscotch essence gradually to achieve the desired flavour intensity without overwhelming the sweetness of your Butterscotch Ice Cream.
When adding butterscotch crunchies, fold them gently into the Butterscotch Ice Cream mixture to distribute evenly without deflating the whipped cream.
Sprinkle extra crunchies on top of the Butterscotch Ice Cream mixture for added texture and flavour bursts in every bite.
Spreading the mixture in a shallow tray, as suggested in the easy Butterscotch Ice Cream recipe, ensures even freezing and minimises ice crystal formation.
Chill the Butterscotch Ice Cream thoroughly before serving to keep it smooth and refreshing.
Let the Butterscotch Ice Cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a perfectly scoopable texture.

FAQs on Butterscotch Ice Cream

1. Does Butterscotch Ice Cream contain salt?

Butterscotch Ice Cream usually doesn’t contain salt, though some store-bought varieties might. If you follow the homemade Butterscotch Ice Cream recipe, your ice cream will remain salt-free.

2. Does Butterscotch Ice Cream have alcohol?

Butterscotch can have a slight liquor-like taste even without alcohol, likely due to the caramelised sugar. It originated in England, and the term "scotch" may come from "scorch," referring to the high heat used to melt the sugar. Additionally, alcohol has a very low freezing point, which is why it's not included in Butterscotch Ice Cream recipes.

3. What is the main ingredient in the Butterscotch Ice Cream recipe?

Our Butterscotch Ice Cream recipe features rich MILKMAID and whipping cream as key ingredients, giving the ice cream its authentic flavour and creamy texture.
