Butter Pecan Ice Cream with Caramel Swirl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, toast 1 cup of chopped pecans over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup of brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 25-30 minutes.
- During the last few minutes of churning, add the toasted pecans to the ice cream and continue churning until evenly distributed.
- Transfer half of the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the ice cream. Repeat with the remaining ice cream and caramel sauce, using a knife to swirl the caramel into the ice cream.
- Cover the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Scoop and serve the butter pecan ice cream with caramel swirl, and enjoy!
