Ice Cream With Butterscotch Sauce Recipes

ICE CREAM WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat cream in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until almost boiling. Stir in chopped candies, and reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until candies have melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let sauce cool slightly.
• Divide ice cream among four serving bowls, and top with sauce. Garnish with additional crushed candies, if desired.

VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH BOURBON BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the butter, sugar, corn syrup and heavy cream to a medium-size saucepan and cook while stirring over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Once the butterscotch appears syrupy and thick, remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the bourbon. (It will sputter and boil when you do this.) Stir in a big pinch of salt and let cool slightly before serving.
• Serve the butterscotch over good vanilla ice cream.

BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE II

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, milk, corn syrup and butter. Warm over low heat until smooth and butter is melted. Do not boil.

SWEET CORN ICE CREAM WITH BUTTERSCOTCH

Steps:

• Make the butterscotch
• Combine the cream, Scotch, and salt in a measuring cup with a spout. Use a knife to scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the cup and stir well.
• Combine the granulated sugar, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup of water in a medium saucepan with high sides. Set it over high heat and bring to a boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and boil until the mixture reaches 245ºF. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually whisk in the cream mixture. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. You'll have about 1 cup of butterscotch.
• Use straightaway or stir once more and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Gently reheat until warm before using.
• Make the ice cream
• Cut the corn kernels from the cobs, reserving the cobs. Cut the cobs crosswise into a few pieces. Combine the kernels and cobs in a medium pot along with the cream, milk, salt, and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Bring the liquid to a simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the mixture steep at room temperature for at least 2 hours or in the fridge for as long as 12 hours. Remove the cobs, gently scraping them with a spoon to get at any liquid that may be hiding in them, and discard the cobs. Strain the remaining mixture through a sieve into a clean medium pot, stirring and pressing on the kernels to release as much corn flavor as possible. Discard the kernels.
• Bring the milk mixture to a simmer over medium heat and turn off the heat. Combine the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Slowly but steadily add about 3/4 cup of the milk mixture to the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Then slowly but steadily add the yolk mixture to the pot, again whisking constantly. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly and adjusting the heat if necessary to maintain a simmer, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Strain the mixture again through a sieve into a medium mixing bowl, pressing and then discarding the solids. Fill a larger bowl halfway with very icy water and nestle the medium bowl inside. Stir frequently until the mixture is cold. Cover the medium bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until firm. Serve straightaway or keep the ice cream in the freezer for up to 3 days.
• When you're ready to eat, scoop the ice cream into bowls, drizzle on some butterscotch, and top with caramel popcorn.

BURNT-SUGAR ICE CREAM WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a saucepan, and bring to a simmer.
• Combine the egg, flour and 1/2 cup of the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Start beating the mixture until it is thoroughly blended, and pour in the hot milk. Pour and scrape the sauce into a saucepan, and start beating over moderate heat. Cook until the mixture is thickened and smooth.
• Put the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into a small nonstick skillet, and cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and starts to take on a light caramel color. Immediately add the orange rind, and blend, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Immediately add the caramel-orange mixture to the sauce and blend.
• Line a mixing bowl with a sieve, and pour the sauce into it, pressing all around with the sides of a rubber spatula to extract as much flavor as possible from the orange rind. Discard the rind.
• Add the 1 cup of heavy cream, and stir. Let cool. Pour the mixture into the container of a hand-cranked or electric ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Meanwhile, to prepare the butterscotch sauce, put the 1 1/2 cups of sugar into a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and becomes a dark caramel in color. Add the corn syrup, stir to blend, and remove from the heat. Stir in the butter to blend. Stir in the 2/3 cup of cream and the bourbon. Spoon the sauce over the ice cream and serve.

BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE FOR CAKE AND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan bring sugar, corn syrup, and water to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
• Boil mixture, without stirring but swirling pan occasionally, until a golden caramel.
• Remove pan from heat and add butter, vinegar, and a pinch salt, swirling pan until butter is melted.
• Add cream and vanilla and simmer, stirring, 1 minute (sauce will be a golden brown).

• Refrigerate covered for up to 3 weeks.
• Serve sauce warm or at room temperature.
• Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

BOURBON BUTTERSCOTCH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Prepare the bourbon butterscotch. Place the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter melts, sizzles, and begins to take on a brown, nutty color. When it's richly browned but not burnt, add the cream, brown sugar, bourbon, and salt. Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar, over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and put it in the refrigerator to cool below 100°F, or body temperature.
• Prepare an ice bath. Fill a large bowl two-thirds of the way with very icy ice water and place it in the refrigerator. Boil the milk and glucose. Put the milk and glucose in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, and place it over medium high heat. Cook, whisking occasionally to discourage the milk from scorching, until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil, then remove the pot from heat.
• Temper the yolks and cook the custard. In a medium bowl, whisk the yolks. Add ½ cup of the hot dairy mixture to the yolks while whisking so the hot milk doesn't scramble the yolks. Pour the tempered yolks back into the pot of hot milk while whisking. Place the pot over medium-low heat and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot constantly with a rubber spatula to avoid curdling.
• Chill. When you notice the custard thickening, or the temperature reaches 180°F on a kitchen thermometer, immediately pour the custard into a shallow metal or glass bowl. Nest the hot bowl into the ice bath, stirring occasionally until it cools down.
• Mix the butterscotch into the custard and strain. When the custard is cool to the touch (50°F or below), remove the bowl from the ice bath and add the chilled butterscotch sauce, whisking until evenly combined. Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any bits of egg yolk. (Straining is optional, but will help ensure the smoothest ice cream possible.)
• Cure. Transfer the cooled base to the refrigerator to cure for 4 hours, or preferably overnight. (This step is also optional, but the texture will be much improved with it.)
• Churn. Place the custard base into the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. The ice cream is ready when it thickens into the texture of soft-serve ice cream and holds its shape, typically 20 to 30 minutes.
• Harden. To freeze your custard ice cream in the American hard-pack style, immediately transfer it to a container with an airtight lid. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming, cover, and store it in your freezer until it hardens completely, between 4 and 12 hours. Or, feel free to enjoy your ice cream immediately; the texture will be similar to soft-serve.
