    People sometimes ask what does Butter Pecan Ice Cream ice cream taste like.

    If you are someone who enjoys your butter, then you probably already know when butter pecan ice cream tastes like. However, if you are unsure, I will try to explain what this flavor ice cream tastes like.

    Buttercream ice cream may have originally been inspired by the popular buttercream frosting.

    You could easily describe this ice cream mixture as a rich and flavorful combination of buttery, dairy, and sweet ingredients. Then add in the pecans and you have something really tasty.

    You may also be asking what is the difference between churn and no churn ice cream.

    The original recipes for ice cream needed an actual 'churn' to process or agitate the ingredients in order to thicken them (like butter). Thankfully, those old fashion ice cream churn recipes have been replaced by the modern ice cream maker.

    This recipe is 'no churn'.

    Because this is a 'no churn' recipe, you do not need an ice cream maker or churn to make this thicken the ingredients. Instead, we are simply using a mixer to integrate the ingredients and a freezer to help the result to get hard enough to eat..

    Tips for making no churn ice cream.

    Make this ice cream lower in sugar. Use a sweetened condensed milk alternative, sugar free chocolate chips, and your own sweetener as needed.

    More tips for you

    1. This recipe calls for pecan halves that will need to be processed or chopped into smaller pieces. You can make this step easier by simply using already chopped pecan pieces.
    2. When whisking the heavy cream, do so until you start to see the soft peaks form. It is important that you do not over-mix beyond this point.
    3. This ice cream should keep for about two weeks if stored in a freezer and covered. After two weeks ice can form on the ice cream which can ruin the experience.

    Personalize homemade ice cream.

    This recipe is so tasty just the way it is.
    However, you can take it up a notch too!

    Try one of these ideas.

    • Use another nut, such as walnuts, with or instead of the pecans.
    • Make this boozy with a teaspoon or two of something special.
    • Add a drop or two of food coloring to make this ice cream colorful

    How to make No Churn Butter Pecan Ice Cream.

    Step One: sauté the butter and pecans.

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped pecans along with one cup of the sugar. Sauté or stir the ingredients continually to avoid burning the butter. When the butter and sugar have formed a crust around the pecans, remove the pan from the heat and allow the ingredients to cool.

    Step Two: make the creamy part of the recipe.

    In a mixing bowl, use a whisk or outfit your mixer with a whisk attachment. Whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks begin to form. Once the soft peaks form you can fold in the remaining sugar. Then fold in the sugar coated pecans.

    Step Three: freeze and serve.

    Transfer the ingredients to a loaf pan or similar container for freezing. Cover the ice cream tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze this ice cream until solid- about eight hours.
