Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Granulated erythritol
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Butter extract
- 1 packet Sugar-free butterscotch pudding mix
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the granulated erythritol and stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes golden brown, creating a caramel-like consistency.
Slowly add the heavy cream and whole milk to the saucepan, whisking continuously to combine with the caramelized mixture. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, butter extract, sugar-free butterscotch pudding mix, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to make sure that the pudding mix is completely dissolved, and the mixture is smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Once the mixture is fully chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, until it reaches the consistency of soft serve.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop and enjoy your homemade sugar-free butterscotch ice cream!
