Miso Butterscotch Recipes

Steps:

• For the miso butterscotch: Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and stir until combined. Stir in the miso, then add the heavy cream and vanilla and stir until the butterscotch is bubbling and thick. Turn off the heat.
• For the sweetened whipped cream: Place the cream in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and whip on medium-high speed (or by hand or with a hand mixer) until you have medium-stiff peaks (about 2 minutes using a stand mixer or 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer). Serve immediately.
• To serve, place some ice cream in each bowl. Drizzle with the butterscotch, add a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with smoked almonds, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the cream and butter in a small saucepan, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts.
• Stir in the miso and sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is slightly thickened and shiny, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and add a little more sugar if you think it's too salty (remember, you';ll be using it in savory dishes).
• Use right away or refrigerate, well covered, for up to 1 week and rewarm before using to loosen it up.

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Set aside until the gelatin sets and becomes a solid gel, about 10 minutes.
• Bring the cream and sugar to a simmer. Whisk in the butter, yogurt, miso, vanilla and salt. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture, then strain through a fine mesh strainer.
• Ladle or pour into 6-ounce serving bowls and chill in the refrigerator until set, 3 hours.
• Serve cold with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
