BUTTER PECAN ICE CREAM
The butter used to toast the pecans can be saved
and used over pancakes or waffles.
Makes about 5 cups (ten ½-cup servings)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup pecans (halves, pieces or whole)
1 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
pinch sea or kosher salt
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1. Melt the butter in a medium skillet. Add the pecans and 1
teaspoon of salt. Cook over medium-low heat until pecans are
toasted and golden, stirring frequently, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Remove from the heat, strain and reserve the pecans, allowing
them to chill. The butter can be used for another use – delicious
over pancakes or waffles.
2. In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed or whisk to
combine the milk, sugar and pinch of salt until the sugar is
dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and
refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight. Whisk mixture together
again before pouring into the ice cream maker.
3. Pour the mixture into the mixing bowl of the Cuisinart® Ice
Cream and Gelato Maker fitted with the ice cream paddle.
Turn unit on, set Timer and press Start. Let mix until thickened,
about 40 to 50 minutes. Five minutes before mixing is
completed, add the reserved pecans through the mix-in
opening and let mix in completely. The ice cream will have a
soft, creamy texture. Serve or store in airtight container in
freezer.
