Time 4h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 pints vanilla ice cream
2 pints butter pecan ice cream
Toasted pecans

Steps:

  • For the caramel, mix 1/3 cup water and the sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook, without stirring, over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium and boil uncovered until the sugar turns a warm chestnut brown (about 350 degrees on a candy thermometer), 5 to 7 minutes, gently swirling the pan to stir the mixture. Be careful; the mixture is extremely hot! Watch the mixture constantly at the end, as it will go from caramel to burnt very quickly. Turn off the heat. Stand back to avoid splattering and slowly add the cream and vanilla. The cream will bubble violently and the caramel will solidify; don't worry. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits. To assemble the sundaes, place one scoop of vanilla ice cream and one scoop of butter pecan ice cream in each dish and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve extra sauce on the side.

I've tried this recipe a few times now and I can't seem to get it right. The caramel sauce always comes out too runny. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This recipe is a waste of time. The caramel sauce is too thick and the pecans are too hard. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sundae turned out nothing like the picture. The caramel sauce was too runny and the whipped cream didn't hold its shape.

This sundae is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think I would prefer it with less caramel sauce.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The caramel sauce is amazing and the pecans add a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this sundae several times now and it's always a hit. It's the perfect dessert for any occasion. I especially love the way the caramel sauce drizzles down the sides of the glass.

I made this sundae for my family last night and they all loved it! Even my picky kids ate it up. The recipe was easy to follow and the sundae came out looking just like the picture. I will definitely be making this again.

OMG! This sundae is the best dessert I've ever had in my life! The caramel sauce is perfectly sweet and gooey, the pecans add a nice crunch, and the whipped cream is so light and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again and again!
