Pro Tips & Suggestions

Expert advice for the best results

For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.

Make sure the butterscotch mixture is completely cool before adding it to the whipped cream to prevent melting.

If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use a whisk, but it will take longer to beat the cream.

Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the butterscotch flavor.
