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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 7

Scoop and enjoy your homemade sugar-free butterscotch ice cream!
