1
Prepare Ice Cream Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butterscotch sauce, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and the sugars are dissolved.
2
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to chill the mixture thoroughly.
3
Churn the Ice Cream
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
4
Add Pecans
During the last few minutes of churning, add the whole pecans to the ice cream. If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can also lightly toast the pecans before adding.
5
Freeze the Ice Cream
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
