PECAN CARAMEL ICE CREAM
This recipe is one that my cousin made up using her mother's basic recipe when we were teenagers. It tastes like pecan pie with ice cream. It became one of the family's favorites. Nowadays we use our stand mixer's nice attachment, the ice cream bowl - or on-the-counter ice cream makers - and it still comes out great. I mix this up of a morning or the night before I plan to make it. One reason for this was the longer it sets, the better the flavors blend into cream mixture, making a much better flavored ice cream and a faster freeze time.

Steps:
- Make crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter in medium bowl until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and 1 inch up sides of prepared pan. Bake until crust is set and pale golden, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
- Make caramel sauce:
- Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high; boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Stir over low heat until any caramel bits dissolve and sauce is smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in vanilla. Let stand until cool but still pourable, about 1 hour.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup cooled caramel sauce over bottom of crust. Freeze until caramel sets, about 10 minutes. Spread 1 quart ice cream over caramel in crust. Sprinkle chopped pecans over ice cream. Drizzle 1/2 cup caramel sauce over ice cream. Freeze until caramel sets, about 10 minutes. Spread remaining ice cream over. Freeze until top of pie is firm, about 1 hour.
- Arrange pecan halves in 3 concentric circles around top of pie. Drizzle 1/4 cup caramel sauce over pie. Freeze pie until frozen solid, at least 4 hours. (Can be prepared 5 days ahead. Cover tightly with foil; keep frozen. Cover and chill remaining caramel sauce.)
- Rewarm remaining caramel sauce over low heat, stirring often. Cut around pan sides to loosen pie. Let pie soften slightly at room temperature, about 10 minutes. Remove pan sides. Serve pie with warm caramel sauce.

CARAMEL PECAN ICE CREAM
This recipe came from my users guide for the Kitchen Aid Ice cream attachment. It was the first recipe I tried...excellent choice!! This is what homemade ice cream is about...rich and very decadent. The only thing I would do differently next time....is toast the pecans. Cooking time only reflects the 30 minutes churning not the freezer time.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Use fresh pecans, pure vanilla extract, and a good quality caramel sauce.
- Toast the pecans before adding them to the ice cream. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Don't overbeat the ice cream base. Overbeating can make the ice cream grainy.
- Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning. This will help it churn more quickly and smoothly.
- Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions. Different ice cream makers have different churning times.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
