Tips:

  • For a richer butterscotch sauce, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the doneness of the butterscotch sauce by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the sauce forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • To make the butterscotch sauce ahead of time, let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • When making the whipped cream, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 36% fat. This will help the whipped cream hold its shape.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to drizzle the butterscotch sauce and whipped cream onto the sundaes.

Conclusion:

Loaded butterscotch sundaes are a delicious and decadent dessert that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich butterscotch sauce, creamy whipped cream, and crunchy toppings, these sundaes are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these loaded butterscotch sundaes a try!
