Ingredients
Butterscotch Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Ice Cream Base
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Begin by warming the butter and brown sugar together over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Stir frequently until the butter melts and the sugar starts to dissolve into a glossy mixture. Once it looks smooth, add the vanilla extract and the ¼ cup of heavy cream, letting the sauce bubble gently for about two to three minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and measure out half a cup of this butterscotch. Reserve the rest in an airtight container. In a separate bowl, whisk the measured butterscotch with the ¾ cup of heavy whipping cream until combined. Add the whole milk and whisk again to form a cohesive ice cream base.
- Carefully pour this base into the Ninja Creami pint, secure the lid, and place it on a flat surface in your freezer for at least 24 hours. When ready, remove the pint, attach it to the Ninja Creami, and run the “Ice Cream” cycle. If the texture looks crumbly afterward, simply re-spin or add a tablespoon or two of milk, then spin again until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Warm your reserved butterscotch sauce briefly in the microwave—about 10 seconds usually does it. Drizzle this sweet goodness over each serving for an authentic Butterbeer finish.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
Try topping with whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, or even a pinch of sea salt to contrast the sweetness.
Tips & Tricks:
Keep the heat gentle when making your sauce to avoid burning the sugar. If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it slightly longer before cooling.
Storage & Reheating:
Store leftover ice cream in its Ninja Creami pint with a tight-fitting lid for up to a week. Re-spin whenever you want to restore that freshly churned texture. The reserved sauce can stay refrigerated in a sealed container and warmed again anytime for topping.
