Vanilla Apricot Ice Cream With Butterscotch Caramel Sauce Topping


Ice cream is mostly everyone's favourite . Adults and kids alike just love them. Me, is one big fan of homemade ones. Why? Reason being I can control the amount of sugar and I can have whatever flavours I like. Having a ice cream machine makes making ice cream easier. Lessen steps and the ice cream turns out more smoother too. This time, I made Vanilla Apricot Ice Cream and top with Butterscotch Caramel Sauce. So good. A pair made in heaven. I used canned apricot as fresh apricot not in season . Anyway canned one taste just as good. 
 
Smooth and creamy texture

Vanilla Apricot Ice Cream With Butterscotch Caramel Sauce Topping

1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup  milk
3/4 cup sugar ( I reduce to 1/2 cup sugar )
1 can of Apricot
1 tbsp of vanilla extract 

Method:
Combine the cream, milk, sugar and vanilla extract  in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring , to dissolve the sugar. Place the pan in the ice bath and stir occasionally until it cools to room temperature. Transfer to a container , cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled about 3 hours.
About an hour before you churn the ice cream, add in the chopped and blended Apricots mixture.  Freeze in ice maker according to the manufacture's instruction. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm about 2 hours. Serve with Butterscotch Caramel Sauce.
