Notes
Keep a close eye on your candied pecan mixture as it’s cooking. It will go from underdone to perfect to burnt very quickly.
If you don’t have time to candy your own pecans, you can easily substitute in some store bought candied nuts.
1 ½ cups of sweetened condensed milk is equivalent to one 14oz can.
Use dark brown sugar instead of light to give your ice cream a deeper molasses flavor.
