How to Make Butterscotch Ice Cream
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
- Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer. This is the soft-ball stage.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Be cautious as the mixture will be hot.
- Pour the mixture into a metal bowl and place it in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Whisk constantly until the mixture cools completely.
- Once cooled, stir in the egg yolks (tempering them first by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot mixture before adding to the main batch will prevent scrambling).
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
