Butterscotch Icecream

I am SUPER picky about my ice cream flavors. It’s pretty much the only area where I have zero desire to try new things or experiment with flavors. I like pista, chocolate,butterscotch and vanilla with lots of chocolate sauce. This time it was butterscotch,which is a type of confectionery whose primary ingredients are brown sugar and butter. Recipe shared below

For the ice-cream

2 1/2 cups (500 ml.) milk

1/2 cup condensed milk

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup milk powder

1/2 tsp butterscotch essence

For the praline

1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar

1/4 cup powdered cashewnuts (kaju)

oil for greasing

Method

For the praline

Heat the sugar in a pan till it caramelizes and becomes golden brown in colour.

Remove from the fire, add the cashewnuts and mix well.

Pour onto a greased surface and allow it to cool down and harden completely. Crush into small pieces and keep aside.

For the ice-cream

Combine all the ingredients except the butterscotch essence and whisk together so that no lumps remain.

Bring to a boil in a non-stick pan and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring continuously.

Cool completely, add the butterscotch essence and mix well.

Pour into a shallow container. Cover and freeze for till it is almost set.

Divide the mixture into 2 equal parts and churn each batch separately in a blender till it is smooth and all the ice crystals break down. The ice-cream should be thick and not watery.

Combine both the batches, add the praline pieces and mix lightly. Freeze again in a shallow container, till firm.
