Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 4 tablespoons instant butterscotch pudding mix (about half a small box)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Mix the Base:
- In a bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk and butterscotch pudding mix until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Freeze:
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Do not exceed the max fill line.
- Cover the container and freeze for 24 hours on a flat surface.
Process:
- After freezing, place the container into the Ninja Creami machine. Attach the lid, lock it into place, and select the “Ice Cream” setting.
Adjust Texture if Needed:
- If the ice cream looks crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk to the center and select the “Re-spin” function. Repeat this step until the desired creaminess is achieved.
Serve:
- Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately!
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or crushed butterscotch candies for added indulgence.
- Pair with warm cookies or brownies for an ultimate treat.
Tips & Tricks:
- Ensure the pudding mix is thoroughly whisked into the milk to avoid lumps.
- Let the frozen ice cream base rest at room temperature for 10 minutes if it’s too hard to process.
- For an extra-rich texture, add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream during the re-spin step.
Storage:
- Store leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly closed. It stays fresh in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- To serve leftovers, let the ice cream sit out at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften before scooping.
