Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is hot and the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.
3. Once the mixture is heated through and the sugar is dissolved, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
4. In a separate small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
5. Add the chopped pecans to the skillet and toast them in the melted butter, stirring constantly, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Be careful not to burn them.
6. Once the pecans are toasted, remove them from the skillet and set aside to cool.
7. Stir the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into the cooled cream mixture.
8. Cover the saucepan with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
9. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
10. Once chilled, pour the butter pecan mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
11. During the last few minutes of churning, add the toasted pecans and let them mix into the ice cream.
12. Transfer the churned butter pecan ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
13. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
14. Scoop the creamy butter pecan ice cream into bowls or cones, and enjoy the perfect blend of buttery richness and nutty crunch!
