Indulge in the rich flavors of brown butter-cranberry ice cream complemented by crunchy candied pecans. This creamy treat is a delightful combination of sweet and nutty notes, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup brown butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions:

Cranberries should be cooked in a saucepan with a little water until they burst and get soft

Take it off the heat and let it cool down

Put the butter in a different saucepan and brown it over medium-low heat

Then take it off the heat and set it aside

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl until the mixture is pale and creamy

Put heavy cream, whole milk, and brown butter in a different saucepan

While on medium heat, bring to a gentle boil

Slowly add the hot cream mixture to the egg yolk mixture while whisking all the time to temper the eggs

Put the mixture back in the saucepan

Cook it over low heat while stirring it all the time until it gets thick enough to coat the back of a spoon

Press down on the cranberries to get the flavor out of them as you strain the mixture into a clean bowl

Throw away the cranberry solids

Add the cooled cranberries and vanilla extract and mix well

Put the mixture in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or until it is completely cold

While thats going on, make the candied pecans

Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat

Add the pecans and brown sugar

Keep stirring the mixture for about 5 minutes, or until the pecans are caramelized and smell good

Turn off the heat and place the paper on a flat surface to cool

Follow the directions that came with the ice cream maker to churn the chilled ice cream mixture

Add the candy pecans in the last few minutes of churning

Put the churned ice cream in a container that can go in the freezer

Cover it and freeze it for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until it is firm

Serve and have fun
