A magical, creamy dessert inspired by the iconic Butterbeer from the Wizarding World. This rich, homemade ice cream combines a luscious butterscotch sauce with a smooth, velvety base for a treat that’s perfect for Harry Potter fans and dessert lovers alike!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Butterscotch Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

For the Ice Cream Base:

  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Make the Butterscotch Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar and cook until smooth and bubbling (2–3 minutes). Add vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup for the ice cream base; store the rest for drizzling.
  2. Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the reserved butterscotch sauce and heavy whipping cream until smooth. Gradually whisk in whole milk until fully combined.
  3. Freeze the Base: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Seal with the lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours.
  4. Process in Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Secure with its lid and process using the “Ice Cream” setting. If crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function or add 1–2 tbsp of milk before re-spinning.
  5. Serve: Warm the reserved butterscotch sauce in the microwave for about 10 seconds and drizzle over individual servings. Optional: Top with whipped cream or crushed butterscotch candies.

Tips & Tricks:

  • The butterscotch sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in an airtight container.

Storage & Reheating:
