Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine both sugars, cream, butter, and water. Heat over medium-high heat and stir constantly until the mixture reach 235 to 240ºF (soft ball stage in candy making).
  2. Add pecans and remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir pecans into mixture until thoroughly coated, 2 - 3 minutes.
  3. Scoop mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and allow to cool.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, pull pieces apart and set aside.
  5. Make one of the caramel sauce recipe linked in the ingredients list and refrigerate until cooled.
  6. Make the vanilla ice cream as instructed in the link listed in the ingredients list.
  7. About 5 minutes before ice cream freezes, add pralines to ice cream and then bits of caramel sauce.
  8. Transfer the ice cream to a covered container and freeze until solid, usually at least 2 hours.
  9. When about to serve leave at room temperature to soften a bit, and then top with additional caramel sauce, if desired, but not the entire amount.

Tips

Though some of the caramel sauce recipes may seem runny to you, be sure to chill them thoroughly so that when you add them to the ice cream they form clumps versus blending with the ice cream. They will freeze up quickly and harden.

You can substitute the non-fat milk in the Low-Fat Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe for additional heavy cream or half & half, if you wish.
