Caramel and pecan ice cream is the ultimate indulgent dessert! Smooth, creamy, with crunchy pecan pieces and a gooey caramel center… A true frozen dream that combines rich flavors with an irresistible crunch. With Ninja Creami, you can create this marvel 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
- 50g of pecan nuts (you can toast them for even more flavor)
- 3 tablespoons of caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Preparation :
- To make the caramel (if you're making it from scratch): In a saucepan, gently melt the sugar until it turns a beautiful golden color. Remove from the heat and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid splattering. Once well combined, let it cool. If you're using ready-made caramel, you can skip this step!
- To prepare the ice cream base : In a bowl, combine the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Stir well until the caramel is completely dissolved. If you want a stronger flavor, you can always add a little more, but be careful not to make it too sweet.
- Add the pecans : Chop the pecans (you can lightly toast them in a pan for an even more flavorful touch) and add them to the mixture. The pecans will provide a crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the caramel.
- Freezing : Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, then place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Yes, it's hard to wait, but your patience will be well rewarded!
- Mixing in the Ninja Creami : Once the mixture is completely frozen, place the container in the Ninja Creami and use the "Ice Cream" setting. If the texture isn't creamy enough, you can add a teaspoon of milk and restart the cycle to achieve the perfect consistency.
- Tasting : For an even more indulgent treat, you can drizzle an extra dollop of caramel sauce on top and add a few whole pecans for garnish. Your caramel pecan ice cream is ready to be enjoyed, and I promise it will become one of your favorites! 😍
There you have it, the perfect ice cream for caramel lovers, with a crunch that will melt in your mouth with every spoonful. Enjoy! 🍨
