Vanilla Ice Cream With Bourbon Butterscotch Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter, and vanilla to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cream, bourbon, and salt. Return to heat; bring to a boil and cook 30 seconds. Let cool slightly before serving. Sauce can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 week; warm over low before serving.

Steps:

• Place ice cream in refrigerator the day before the party.
• At service, stir in bourbon and serve with bread pudding or another dessert like vanilla or chocolate cake.

Steps:

• In a medium pot over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup sugar with 3 tablespoons water, swirling skillet frequently, until sugar turns reddish brown.
• Add heavy cream, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the salt; simmer mixture until caramel melts and cream mixture is completely smooth. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
• Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in bourbon and cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Sprinkle flaky sea salt into base during the last 2 minutes of churning. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.
