Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pecans
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 4 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Shaved dark chocolate or chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
Toast the pecans: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the pecan pie sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until it begins to dissolve and bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and continue stirring. Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the toasted pecans, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. It will thicken more as it cools.
Assemble the sundaes: Scoop 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into each serving bowl.
Drizzle the warm pecan pie sauce generously over the ice cream.
Top each sundae with whipped cream and, if desired, sprinkle with shaved dark chocolate or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Pecan Pie Sundaes!
