Preparation

Step 1

Caramel:

In a blender or food processor, blend up the ingredients for the caramel. Set aside.

Ice cream:

In the ice cream machine, add the ingredients for the ice cream, except the pecans and turn on the machine.

After about 5 minutes, drizzle the caramel mixture into the ice cream bowl.

When the ice cream looks like it’s almost done, add in the nuts. Takes about 15-20 minutes to make. I got about 4 1/2 cup servings out of my batch. Enjoy!
