How to Prepare
In a saucepan, melt 2 cups of butter over medium heat. Add 4 cups of brown sugar and stir until dissolved to make butterscotch sauce.
Gradually add 4 cups of heavy cream to the butterscotch mixture, stirring continuously. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and cool.
In a separate bowl, whip 8 cups of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Fold the cooled butterscotch sauce into the whipped cream gently until well combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (about 20-25 minutes). If no ice cream maker, pour into a container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for 3 hours to break up ice crystals.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Scoop and serve chilled, optionally garnished with crushed nuts or butterscotch chips.
