Ingredients

Servings

• 100 gram Pecan Nuts
• 50 gram Butter
• 500 milliliter Double Cream
• 250 milliliter Milk
• 150 gram Caster Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 4 unit Egg Yolks

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Spread the pecan nuts out on a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
2. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cooled pecan nuts and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are coated in the butter and toasted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the double cream, milk, caster sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolks until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 20 minutes.
5. During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the buttered pecan nuts and continue churning until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
6. Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
7. Serve the butter pecan ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy!
