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!
