Homemade Maple Pecan Ice Cream

Adapted from ice-cream-recipes.com, this Homemade Maple Pecan Ice Cream is definitely one to try if you have an ice cream maker machine. It's got the right amount of sweetness to satisfy your taste for dessert.

Ingreadient

• ¾ cup pecans (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ¾ cup whole milk
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Step by step

1. Using a frying pan, melt the butter on medium-low heat and then add the chopped pecans. Add the honey and cook until the nuts are very slightly browned, 3 – 5 minutes. Be very careful not to overcook the nuts because they can go from perfect to burnt in less than a minute. (Note: these nuts are also a delicious replacement for the plain pecans used in this chocolate Powerball recipe…just add two teaspoons of water instead of using the peanut butter.)
2. While the nuts are cooking stir together all three ingredients for the ice cream. Turn on your ice cream maker and then pour the milk mixture into the machine.
3. When the ice cream is almost all the way thickened add the nuts…serve immediately and enjoy!
