Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 cups heavy cream
  2. 1 cup whole milk
  3. 3/4 cup sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 1/2 cup roasted pecans
  6. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  7. 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Melt the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and dissolve completely. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well blended.
  • Combine the Mixtures: Add the cooled butter-brown sugar mixture to the cream mixture. Stir to combine the flavors.
  • Add Pecans: Fold in the roasted pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
  • Churn: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  • Freeze: Transfer the ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

 

  • Serve: Scoop and enjoy your homemade butter pecan ice cream!

Notes

  • Ensure that the butter and brown sugar mixture is fully cooled before adding it to the cream to prevent curdling.
  • For extra crunch, roast the pecans in the oven for a few minutes before adding them to the ice cream.

 

  • No ice cream maker? You can freeze the mixture in a container, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
