For an intensified pecan flavor, consider toasting the pecans in the oven before roasting them in butter. If you prefer a smoother ice cream, strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling to remove any cooked egg particles. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking, depending on your desired level of sweetness. Serve with a sprinkle of extra toasted pecans and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.

01 Step
Recipe View Embark on your culinary journey by gathering all the necessary ingredients. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped pecans and cook, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned and emit a fragrant aroma. This should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk the eggs until they are well combined. Set aside. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the half-and-half cream and brown sugar. Stir well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the beaten eggs, whisking constantly and vigorously to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Return the custard mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously with a spatula or wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. To test for doneness, dip a spoon into the custard, then run your finger across the back of the spoon. If a clear line remains, the custard is ready. This process typically takes about 5 to 8 minutes. (Cook time: 5-8 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the heavy cream, toasted pecans, and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the custard to chill completely. (Cooling time: 4+ hours)
08 Step
Recipe View Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your machine. (Freeze time: 20-30 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Once the ice cream has reached your desired consistency, serve immediately for a soft-serve texture. Alternatively, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for a few more hours to achieve a firmer, scoopable texture. (Freeze time: 2+ hours)
