PECAN PIE ICE CREAM



Pecan Pie Ice Cream image

This pecan pie ice cream is built on a base of French vanilla, with toasted pecans, cloaked in maple syrup, swirled in. Making the vanilla custard for this French-style ice cream is a delicate operation, like producing hollandaise, because of the fragile nature of eggs when they are heated. Perform this part of the recipe when you can give it your full, undivided attention. If preparing this custard in a saucepan over direct heat makes you nervous about overcooking and curdling the eggs, you can make it in a double boiler, but it will take at least 20 minutes longer to get the custard to thicken.

Time 8h30m

Yield 5 cups (about 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
2/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place milk and cream in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the sugar. Heat on medium until scalded (about 180 degrees) - bubbles will form around the edges. Remove from heat.
  • Beat eggs in a small bowl until well-blended. Gradually whisk several tablespoons of the hot milk mixture into the eggs, then slowly pour the egg mixture back into the pan, whisking all the while.
  • Place over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the spoon, 6 minutes or so. As soon as you see the first wisps of steam, remove the pan from the heat. Keep stirring another 5 minutes or so as the mixture cools down. Stir in the vanilla. Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until very cold, about 6 hours or overnight.
  • Place the pecans in a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Toast them, stirring, until lightly browned. Remove from heat. Pour in the maple syrup and add the butter and salt. Stir to coat pecans completely. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.
  • Add the cold custard to your ice cream maker and churn until the mixture reaches the consistency of soft ice cream, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer it to a bowl. Fold in the cooled nuts and syrup, swirling them in so they are not thoroughly mixed in.
  • Transfer the ice cream to one or more containers and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours. If necessary, let the ice cream soften a bit in the refrigerator or at room temperature before scooping.

Tips:

  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Freeze the bananas in advance for a creamier texture and to help them blend more easily.
  • If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the bananas with a fork and then stir in the other ingredients.
  • Add your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, seeds, or berries.
  • For a more decadent ice cream, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • If you're using an ice cream maker, churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions.
