Looking for more delectable ice cream recipes? Here are two scrumptious options that'll satisfy your sweet tooth:

Recipe 1: Toasted Pecan Gelato (Cookedbase)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2/3 cup light brown sugar
• 4 large egg yolks, room temperature
• Pinch Kosher salt
• 1 cup toasted pecans, finely ground
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Warm milk, cream, and 1/3 cup brown sugar in a saucepan over low heat, whisking occasionally until it reaches about 175°F.
2. In a small metal bowl, whisk egg yolks, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and salt until smooth. Slowly pour 1 1/2 cups of the warm milk mixture into the bowl, whisking continuously to combine. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring, until it thickens or reaches about 185°F. Avoid boiling.
3. Strain the mixture into a bowl and discard the solids. Stir in ground pecans and vanilla extract. Chill the mixture in the fridge until it drops to 40°F, about 3 hours. Freeze as per the ice cream maker's instructions.

Recipe 2: Butter Pecan Gelato

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (for a gelato-style density)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup white sugar (optional)
• 6 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 cup toasted pecans
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Toast Pecans: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the chopped pecans. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar until the sugar caramelizes and forms a crust on the nuts. Cool.
2. Whip Cream: Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Do not overwhip.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
4. Fold in the whipped cream and toasted pecans. Freeze in an airtight container for 6-8 hours or overnight.

Happy Cranking!
