Extra Pecan Butter Pecan Ice Cream
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of pecans
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 5 large egg yolks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread 1 cup of pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Let them cool, then chop them coarsely.
- In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 5 large egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture. Then, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once the custard is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped toasted pecans.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Scoop and serve the extra pecan butter pecan ice cream, and enjoy!
