Best Buttercrunch Ice Cream Recipes

BUTTER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Prepare your ice cream maker, which can take up to 24 hours for proper freezing.
• In a medium saucepan, heat cream, sugar and salt over low heat. Whisk until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.
• Whisk egg yolks until they are mixed and lighten in color.
• Temper in egg yolks, meaning that you'll want to whisk together a small amount of warm cream mixture with eggs and then while vigorously whisking, slowly add cream to prevent clumping and cooking eggs.
• Add softened butter to the mixture, stir as best you can, but know that it will be largely clumpy. If you are using a low quality butter or just really want a BAM butter flavor, add butter extract.
• Pour mixture into the ice cream maker and churn for 30 minutes or until fully combined. The butter should blend into the mixture naturally.
• Spoon into an airtight container and place in the freezer to harden to ice cream consistency.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTER CRUNCH

Steps:

• To make the butter crunch mixture, melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in almonds, and pour out into prepared pan, spreading the mixture with the back of a spoon to fill the pan. Before the butter crunch hardens, but when it is firm enough to handle, turn it out onto a large parchment-covered cutting board and peel away the foil. Allow the butter crunch to cool completely. To finish the butter crunch, wipe the top surface of the candy with a damp paper towel to remove excess butter and allow to dry a few minutes. Have another cutting board or the back of a jelly-roll pan ready to turn the candy over onto. Use a small offset metal icing spatula to spread half the tempered chocolate quickly over the butter crunch. Scatter half the chopped almonds over the chocolate. Cover this finished surface with a piece of parchment paper or foil and place another cutting board or the back of a large jelly-roll pan. Remove top board and paper and quickly spread with remaining tempered chocolate and scatter on remaining almonds (it isn't necessary to wipe the second side because it wasn't against a buttered surface). Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set chocolate. Break the butter crunch into 2-inch pieces. Store candy in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover and keep at a cool room temperature for up to a week.
