Any scotch lovers out there? Ice cream is hands down my favorite thing to make (not to mention eat), and anyone who knows me knows that I love using alcohol when making ice cream. It adds a great flavor to the dessert but it also keeps the texture in line. When using alcohol you do not have to worry as much about getting the dreaded ice crystals in your finished product because the scotch does not freeze and keeps your ice cream very smooth.
I happened to use Balvenie in my single malt butterscotch ice cream recipe but feel free to substitute any scotch you like. And in case you were wondering, single malt is not necessary when making this recipe – there’s nothing wrong with using a little Johnny Walker if you don’t have a bottle of single malt lying around.
I also use a full shot of scotch in my recipe which gives it a powerful infusion into the ice cream, if you want to tone down the alcohol flavor a bit just cut it in half.
Oh and when following the instructions on cooking the ice cream with the egg yolks, your custard base is ready when it is thick enough to leave a tracer of your finger along the back of a spoon… check out the image below for reference.
