Place store-bought fresh cream in the freezer for one hour before you start making the ice cream. Add boiled full-fat milk to a pan or kadhai (do not switch on the stove yet). Add sugar, milk powder, and cornstarch/ custard powder to the mixture and stir with a whisk. Heat the vessel on low-medium flame. Continue stirring until the milk thickens. Once you get a thick paste-like consistency, place it in the freezer for approximately an hour.

To make butterscotch crunch, first melt sugar in a pan on medium flame. Mix some butter with the melted sugar and then add chopped almonds as well as cashews. Transfer this crunchy mixture to a greased plate/ thali, spread it and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Later, use a rolling pin to crush the caramel praline into smaller pieces.
