How to make butter pecan ice cream
This ice cream is easy to make. Smother the pecans with melted butter then toast them in the oven until they’re a shade darker. These nuts will soak up the butter and the mouth-feel of the nuts will become irresistible.
Once the pecans are done, transfer them to the fridge for at least half an hour to cool down. If the nuts are warm it will result in an ice cream that’s icy.
Finally, whisk the milk, cream, vanilla, and sugar until thoroughly combined, then add to the ice cream maker. There’s no need to heat the ingredients as no eggs are used.
