- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup butter pecan ice cream, softened
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (toasted for added flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Butter Pecan Ice Cream Pie:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the softened butter pecan ice cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined.
- Add the toasted chopped pecans to the mixture, folding them in carefully to maintain the light and airy texture.
- Spoon the ice cream mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze it for at least 4 hours or until firm. Overnight is best!
- When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. This makes slicing easier.
- Top with whipped cream and drizzle chocolate syrup over the top if desired before slicing into wedges.
