Homemade Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup roasted pecans
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Directions:

1. Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it’s melted, stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves completely. Take it off the heat and let it cool for a bit.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir until everything is blended nicely.
3. Once your butter and brown sugar mixture has cooled, add it to your cream mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors together.
4. Now for the fun part! Fold in those delicious roasted pecans.
5. Pour the whole delicious mixture into your ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches that dreamy soft serve consistency.
6. Transfer your homemade ice cream into a lidded container and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it’s nice and firm.
7. Finally, scoop it out, serve it up, and enjoy your creamy, nutty butter pecan ice cream!
