RECIPE — What Is This, A Lazy Attempt At A Proper Lasagna?

You call this a recipe? This is an insult to the culinary world! Where are the measurements? Where are the instructions? It’s like you’ve taken the magic out of cooking and left us with a pile of unorganized potion ingredients. If you want to create a truly magical butterbeer ice cream, you need to start with quality ingredients and follow a precise process. Let me show you how it’s done.

Laxfed’s Magical Butterbeer Ice Cream

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce
  • 1/4 cup cream soda
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale.
  3. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. This is called tempering and prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and place over low heat. Stir constantly until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be careful not to let it boil.
  5. Remove the custard from the heat and strain it into a clean bowl. Stir in the butterscotch sauce, cream soda, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Once the custard is thoroughly chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, drizzle with extra butterscotch sauce if desired, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Serve the butterbeer ice cream in chilled mugs or waffle cones for a truly magical experience.

Wine Pairing: I recommend enjoying your butterbeer ice cream with a glass of late-harvest Riesling. The sweetness of the wine will complement the butterscotch flavors of the ice cream beautifully. Look for a bottle of Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling for a truly enchanting pairing.
