Tips

• Freeze your pint completely flat and level in the freezer for the full 16-24 hours; a tilted pint won't freeze evenly and may scoop unevenly or crumbly when you spin it.
• If your result comes out powdery or too icy after spinning, add just a tablespoon or two of cold milk and re-spin for a creamier texture.
• Use good quality vanilla ice cream as your base, not the budget brands, because the fat content affects how smoothly the Creami processes it.

Variations

• Swap the butterscotch sauce for caramel sauce or salted caramel for a different sweet note.
• Use brown butter instead of regular butter when making homemade butterscotch sauce for deeper, nuttier flavor.
• Add a half teaspoon of sea salt to the liquid base before freezing to cut the sweetness and enhance the butterscotch.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of milk or cream?

Yes, whole milk works best, but you can use 2% milk or even add a splash of heavy cream to make it richer. Just keep the proportions similar so it freezes properly in your pint.

My pint didn't freeze solid after 24 hours, what happened?

Your freezer might not be cold enough, or the pint wasn't level. Make sure it's set to 0F or below and sitting completely flat. If it's still soft at 24 hours, give it another 6-8 hours.

Can I make this lighter or lower in calories?

Use 2% milk instead of whole milk and go easy on the butterscotch sauce and brown sugar. You can also try the Lite Ice Cream setting on your Creami, which processes it differently for a lighter result.

How long can I keep the frozen pint stored?

The pint keeps well in the freezer for up to two weeks sealed. After you spin it the first time, the leftovers in the pint will start to get icy, so use it within a few days or re-spin it with a splash of milk.
