Ben Jerrys Butter Pecan Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over low heat.
• Add the pecans and salt and saute, stirring constantly, until the pecans start to turn brown.
• Drain the butter into a small bowl.
• Transfer the pecans to another bowl and let cool.
• Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
• Pour in the cream and milk, and whisk to blend.
• Add the melted butter and blend.
• Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's directions.
• After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the pecans, then continue freezing until done.

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the sugar slowly, whisking constantly to incorporate. Add the whipping cream and milk and whisk until smooth. Pour 1 cup of the mixture into a separate bowl and add the peanut butter to that bowl. Mix well and pour peanut butter mixture into the cream mixture. Whisk in until fully incorporated. Mix in your ice cream maker as per the manufacturer's instructions. Two minutes before the ice cream is due to be done add the peanut butter cup pieces. Pour into a tupperware or similar container and freeze until hard (it should take about 5-6 hours).
