Time 5h25m

Yield 1 batch ice cream

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pint light cream
1/2 pint heavy cream
2 ounces brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup pecan nuts (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or according to taste)

Steps:

  • Place the light cream, sugar and butter into a saucepan and mix together over a low heat.
  • Stir until the mixture starts to bubble around the edges.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool.
  • When the mixture is cold transfer it to an ice cream maker and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  • Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions but remember to add the pecan nuts as the ice cream starts to harden.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your ice cream is rich, creamy, and flavorful. Look for fresh, unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality pecans.
  • Don't overbeat the ice cream base. Overbeating will incorporate too much air into the ice cream, making it grainy and icy. Beat the base just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze more evenly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions. Each ice cream maker is different, so be sure to follow the instructions that came with your machine.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to fully harden and develop its flavor.

Conclusion:

Homemade butter pecan ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this classic dessert right at home. So next time you're craving something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
