Butterscotch Ice Cream is very popular in India however we do not get it here in the US except at Indian ice cream stores. The butterscotch flavor in India is different from the butterscotch flavor in US. When I first moved to US, I remember getting very excited to find butterscotch chips and essence in grocery stores but when I tasted them I knew this was not what I was looking for.
Ingredients
Heavy cream: the base for this no-churn ice cream is made with heavy cream. Look for anything which has a fat percentage of more than 35%. In US, you can easily find heavy cream at all grocery stores. Even in India, now heavy cream is more readily available compared to how it was before. The “Amul” cream that we commonly get it India is not heavy cream as it has lesser fat percentage.
Condensed milk: the sweetness in the ice cream is from the sweetened condensed milk. Usually, you would find 14 oz cans of condensed milk at stores, I used 3/4 of the 14 oz can of the condensed milk. If you prefer sweeter ice cream, you may use the entire can.
Indian butterscotch essence: you absolutely do need Indian butterscotch essence to make this ice cream. I am adding “Indian” here because we do get butterscotch essence in US as well but it’s not the same. I have used “viola” brand butterscotch essence.
Milk powder: I like adding little milk powder to my ice cream base but if you don’t have it, no big deal. You can skip it and it will still taste good.
Sugar & nuts: to make the praline, we need sugar and nuts. I use a mix of almonds and cashews but you may use cashews only here.
Ice Cream Recipe
1. Pour 1 cup of the cream into a saucepan and add the sugar, salt. Scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the pot and then add the vanilla pod to the pot.

3. When ready to churn, remove the vanilla pod, whisk mixture again and pour into ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
