Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract to the cream mixture and stir gently to combine.
- In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using a microwave or a double boiler. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Once the white chocolate is melted, allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the cream mixture. Stir until the white chocolate is fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours.
- Once the ice cream is ready, scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your Delaney's White Turtle Ice Cream!
Tips
- Ensure your cream and milk are very cold before starting to help the ice cream freeze more quickly and create a smoother texture.
- When melting white chocolate, use low heat and stir frequently to prevent burning. A double boiler works best for even melting.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the pecans before chopping to enhance their nutty profile.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe by placing the mixture in a freezer-safe container and stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
- For a more intense flavor, let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before churning to allow flavors to meld.
- Store your ice cream in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
