Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk (optional)
Add-ins and Toppings
- 6 sea salt candies
- 1 cup butterscotch syrup
- 4 Eggo waffles (for serving)
Instructions
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a stand mixer bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Start whipping on speed 2 for about five minutes, then increase the speed to 4. Continue whipping until the cream thickens and reaches a whipped topping consistency, firm enough to hold soft peaks.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk (Optional): If you want a sweeter and creamier ice cream, gently fold in the entire 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream mixture until fully combined. Skip this step if you prefer a less sweet version.
- Assemble Layers: Line a loaf pan or baking dish with plastic wrap for easy removal. Begin layering the mixture by spooning in a layer of the whipped cream mixture, then drizzle generously with butterscotch syrup, and sprinkle several sea salt candies over the layer. Repeat these layers until the pan is filled.
- Freeze Overnight: Cover the layered loaf pan tightly and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until the ice cream is firm and scoopable.
- Serve: Toast the Eggo waffles according to package instructions. Scoop generous portions of the butterscotch ice cream onto the warm waffles, then drizzle additional butterscotch syrup over the top for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- Sweetened condensed milk is optional but adds richness and sweetness to the ice cream.
- Sea salt candies provide a delightful salty contrast to the sweet butterscotch, enhancing the flavor complexity.
- Use plastic wrap to line your pan to easily lift out the ice cream loaf for slicing or scooping.
- Allow ice cream to soften a few minutes at room temperature before serving for easier scooping.
- Store leftover ice cream covered in the freezer for up to one week for best freshness.
