Butter Pecan Ice Cream Ingredients
Method
Instructions
Make the Base
In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and whole milk. Bring to a simmer.
Thicken the Mixture
Continue to cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
Cool and Add Flavor
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
Churn the Ice Cream
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. In the last few minutes of churning, add the toasted pecans.
Freeze
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
