Caramel and pecan ice cream is the quintessence of a gourmet dessert! Sweet, creamy, with these little pieces of crunchy pecan nuts and melting caramel... A real frozen dream that combines rich flavors and an irresistible crunch. With the Ninja Creami, you will be able to create this wonder in no time.
What you need:
- 200 ml of whole liquid cream
- 150 ml of whole milk
- 80 g of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 50 g pecans (you can toast them for even more flavor)
- 3 tablespoons caramel sauce (homemade or purchased)
Preparation :
- Make the caramel (if you make it at home): In a saucepan, gently melt the sugar until it takes on a beautiful golden color. Off the heat, slowly add the liquid cream while stirring to avoid splashing. Once mixed well, let cool. If you are using ready-made caramel, you can skip this step!
- Prepare the ice cream base : In a bowl, mix the milk, liquid cream, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Stir well so that the caramel dissolves completely in the mixture. If you want a stronger taste, you can always add a little more, but be careful not to oversweeten it.
- Add the pecans : Crush the pecans (you can lightly toast them in the pan for an even more flavorful touch) and add them to the mixture. The pecans will bring this crunchy side which contrasts wonderfully with the sweetness of the caramel.
- Freezing : Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami jar, then place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Yes, it's hard to wait, but your patience will be greatly rewarded!
- Mixing in the Ninja Creami : Once the mixture is well frozen, place the pot in the Ninja Creami and use the “Ice” mode. If the texture is not smooth enough, you can add a teaspoon of milk and restart the cycle to get the perfect consistency.
- Tasting : For even more deliciousness, you can pour an additional drizzle of caramel sauce on top and add a few whole pecans for presentation. Your caramel and pecan ice cream is ready to be enjoyed, and I promise it will become one of your favorites! 😍
There you have it, a perfect ice cream for caramel lovers, with a crunch that will make you melt with every spoon. Enjoy your food ! 🍨
