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 Thankfully, those old fashion ice cream churn recipes have been replaced by the modern ice cream maker.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.

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.
