Here is my recipe:
*Note: this recipe is for use with an Ice Cream Maker & makes about 1 1/2 gallons
Ingredients:
- 3/4 Cup of Butter, melted
- 1 1/2 Cups Pecans (separated, chopped)
- 1 Cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 Cup Sweetened, Condensed Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 Cups heavy Cream
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
In a sauce pan, combine the sugar, milk, remaining butter - heat over low heat to a simmer, stirring constantly. Let this mixture cool. Add about 2 Tablespoons of this to the beaten eggs to temper them. Then add the eggs to the mixture and whip for about 4 minutes. (You may use an electric mixer with a whip attachment and whip for only about a minute.) Next, add the cream and salt. Whip this mixture till it begins to foam. Add in the vanilla while whipping. Finally, add in about half of the nuts. Place this mixture in the refrigerator to cool for about 2 hours.
Prepare your ice cream maker and add the cooled mixture. Follow the ice cream maker directions.
(*Note: about half way through the process, add in the rest of the nuts. I've found that they will spread throughout more evenly, if you do this. And you may find that some of the mixture, which was sitting in the refrigerator, had separated while cooling. If this has happened, you can leave it without any problem, or gently stir it before adding it to the ice cream maker.)
Yield should be about 1 1/2 gallons of luscious Butter Pecan Ice Cream!
This is a great way to celebrate "National Ice Cream Month"! I hope you'll try out this recipe and then leave a comment here, telling us all about it. And if ice cream recipes are of interest, I have others in my archives, take a look! Thanks. Maybe you'll want to sign up to become a follower of my blog & tell others too!

Mmmm, I love butter pecan ice cream! Will have to make do with just the purchased kinds, tho; still no maker.
So glad you stopped by my page! Loved your site--but I think I just gained 10 pounds. Looking forward to visiting often!
