Recipe Notes
- Use the completed ice cream to make an ice cream pie! Spoon it into a graham, pecan or shortbread ready made pie crust and decorate the top with whipped cream and more nuts and caramel sauce.
- Try this recipe with almonds, cashews or walnuts.
- The ice cream will keep in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one month.
Here's how to make it:
- Melt the butter in a saucepot. Add the brown sugar and corn syrup. Stir and bring to a gentle boil. Once boiling, remove it from the heat and stir in the pecans, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and salt. Cool to room temperature.
- Put the heavy whipping cream and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla into a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in the sweetened condensed milk and caramel. Add the cooled pecan mixture, stirring, but do not fully incorporate it (you want streaks of the pecan mixture).
- Spread the ice cream into a loaf pan. Top with more pecans and drizzle with caramel sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
