Time 30m

Yield About 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon bourbon
1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Steps:

  • In a medium pot over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup sugar with 3 tablespoons water, swirling skillet frequently, until sugar turns reddish brown.
  • Add heavy cream, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the salt; simmer mixture until caramel melts and cream mixture is completely smooth. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
  • Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in bourbon and cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Sprinkle flaky sea salt into base during the last 2 minutes of churning. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.

This ice cream is a bit too boozy for my taste. I would recommend using less bourbon next time.

I had some trouble finding butterscotch chips, so I used chocolate chips instead. The ice cream still turned out great!

The ice cream was a bit icy, but overall it was still good. I think I might have churned it for too long.

This ice cream is a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of butterscotch. But I'm so glad I did! The ice cream is delicious and the butterscotch flavor is not overpowering. I will definitely be making this again.
