Butter Pecan Ice Cream

This homemade butter pecan ice cream is made without an ice cream machine. This ice cream recipe is another one of my favorite no cook, no churn ice cream recipes.

Ingredients In Butter Pecan Ice Cream

I don’t use any eggs in this butter pecan ice cream recipe. In fact, the main ingredients I use for the ice cream base are whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk.

To the base, I add buttery pecans coated in a light brown sugar glaze and vanilla which provide a sweet and plentiful crunch.

I think it’s pretty amazing that you can enjoy smooth and creamy ice cream without using a machine. In fact, it couldn’t be easier.

This butter pecan ice cream is super rich and is so much better than store-bought versions.
