1
Mix the Base Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

3
Toast the Pecans
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes until the pecans are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

4
Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 20-25 minutes.
5
Add the Toasted Pecans
In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the cooled toasted pecans to the ice cream mix to incorporate them evenly.

6
Transfer and Freeze
Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
