PECAN CARAMEL ICE CREAM



Pecan Caramel Ice Cream image

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.

CARAMEL PECAN ICE CREAM



Caramel Pecan Ice Cream image

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.

PECAN CARAMEL ICE CREAM RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Pecan Caramel Ice Cream Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by SpartyGreenMom

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medjool dates
1/4 cup raw pecans
3 tablespoons water
1 can full fat coconut milk
2 teaspoons ground vanilla bean or extract
1/4 cup pecans
2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Caramel: In a blender or food processor, blend up the ingredients for the caramel. Set aside. Ice cream: In the ice cream machine, add the ingredients for the ice cream, except the pecans and turn on the machine. After about 5 minutes, drizzle the caramel mixture into the ice cream bowl. When the ice cream looks like it's almost done, add in the nuts. Takes about 15-20 minutes to make. I got about 4 1/2 cup servings out of my batch. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: Cold cream, milk, and eggs will help the ice cream freeze more smoothly and prevent it from becoming icy.
  • Don't overbeat the ice cream base: Overbeating will incorporate too much air into the base, which can make the ice cream grainy.
  • Chill the ice cream base before churning: Chilling the base for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will help it churn more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream until it reaches the desired consistency: The churning time will vary depending on the type of ice cream maker you are using. For a soft-serve consistency, churn for about 20 minutes. For a firmer ice cream, churn for about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours: This will allow the ice cream to fully set and harden.
  • Serve the ice cream with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include caramel sauce, chopped pecans, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Pecan caramel ice cream is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery flavor and crunchy pecans, this ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this pecan caramel ice cream recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
