 Creating a batterscotch ice cream involves making a butterscotch-flavored ice cream base and incorporating mix-ins of your choice. Here's a recipe to get you started:


Ingredients:


For the Butterscotch Ice Cream Base:

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1 cup whole milk

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup butterscotch syrup or caramel sauce

- 4 large egg yolks

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


For the Mix-ins (choose your favorites):

- Chunks of cookie dough

- Brownie bits

- Cake pieces

- Caramel swirls


Instructions:


1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and butterscotch syrup over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is hot and steamy but not boiling. Remove from heat.


2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until well combined and slightly thickened.


3. Gradually pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. This is called tempering and helps prevent the eggs from curdling.


4. Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture while stirring constantly.


5. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.


6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.


7. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.


8. Transfer the partially frozen ice cream to a container and fold in your chosen mix-ins, such as chunks of cookie dough, brownie bits, cake pieces, or caramel swirls.


9. Cover the container and freeze the ice cream until it reaches a firm consistency, typically 4-6 hours or overnight.


10. Serve the batterscotch ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy!


Feel free to adjust the amount of butterscotch syrup or caramel sauce based on your desired level of sweetness. You can also experiment with different mix-ins or get creative with additional flavors to make it your own unique batterscotch ice cream recipe.
