Keto Dinner | Keto Brown Butter Pecan Ice Cream

I love ice cream but it’s got to be creamy and smooth. I find that low carb ice creams can easily become icy or just not quite right as far as the texture goes. I know that using egg yolks helps with the creaminess and stability and I also know that vegetable glycerine will do wonders in stopping that iciness.

But I did not know that xylitol will result in a much softer ice cream, so the first batch that I made had a lot more xylitol in it. Not only was it waaaay too sweet, but it also wouldn’t freeze. No matter what I tried, I could not get it past the extremely soft serve stage. I made edible anti-freeze! I will say that the texture was divinely smooth though.

After our delicious new flavored fat bomb recipe, White Chocolate Butter Pecan fat bombs, we were inspired to use our pecans again. The combination of butter and pecan was made for low carb, high fat diets, so we kept going! We decided to make one of the most classic ice cream flavors- butter pecan!

You can also make this recipe without an ice cream maker. Simply pop the entire thing in the freezer and wait! Because this recipe is chunky, we recommend stirring every 30-45 minutes to make sure the pecans are even distributed in the ice cream. If you have an ice cream maker, definitely following the manufacturer’s instructions for how long to churn and cool and when to add the pecans.

Ingredients 

• 2 tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 tsp vegetable glycerine
• 1/4 cup granulated Xylitol (50 g/ 1.8 oz)
• 500 ml heavy cream (16.9 fl oz)
• 250 ml unsweetened almond milk (8.5 fl oz)
• 80 g unsalted butter (2.8 oz)
• 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped into your preferred size (163 g/ 5.7 oz)

Instructions

1. First, Preheat oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted), or 195 °C/ 380 °F (conventional). Melt 20 grams of the butter and toss through the pecans until coated.
2. Second, Spread out in an even layer on an oven tray and bake until browned, for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they can burn very easily.
3. Next, Place cream, almond milk, vanilla, glycerine and Xylitol into a pan and heat over gentle heat until Xylitol has dissolved.
4. Melt the remaining 60 grams of butter in a pan and keep heating it until it reaches a deep golden brown colour.Keto Brown Butter Pecan Ice CreamAgain, keep an eye on it so that it doesn’t burn. Add the butter to the cream mixture and whisk well.

6. Slowly add the egg yolk mixture in to the cream, beating the whole time, and place back over medium heat. Cook slowly until the mixture thickens.
7. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool. Place cling wrap over the surface of the custard to avoid a skin forming and chill in the refrigerator until cold, preferably overnight.
8. Place mixture into your ice cream maker and mix until soft serve consistency is achieved.
9. Fold the pecans through the mix, retaining a handful for garnish.
10. Spoon the ice cream into a container, sprinkle with remaining pecans and freeze until firm, usually only a couple of hours.Store, in a container, in the freezer for up to a month.
