Indulge in the creamy, buttery goodness of homemade Butter Pecan Ice Cream made effortlessly with the Ninja Creami. This rich and nutty dessert combines a smooth ice cream base with crunchy toasted pecans for the perfect sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (244 g) whole milk
  • ⅔ cup (161 g) half-and-half
  • ½ cup (100 g) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese (or substitute with 2 tablespoons vanilla instant pudding mix)
  • ¼ teaspoon butter flavor (Lorann Oils recommended)
  • ¼ teaspoon pecan flavor (Lorann Oils recommended)
  • 2–3 tablespoons chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In the Ninja Creami pint container, combine milk, half-and-half, sugar, cream cheese (or pudding mix), butter flavor, and pecan flavor. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or immersion blender until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Freeze the Base: Cover the pint container with its lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours. Ensure it is completely frozen solid before processing.
  3. Process in Ninja Creami: Remove the pint from the freezer, take off the lid, and place it in the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami machine. Lock it into place and select the “Ice Cream” function to churn the base into a creamy consistency.
  4. Add Pecans: Use a spoon to create a small well in the center of the ice cream and add chopped pecans. Reattach the lid and select the “Mix-In” function to evenly distribute the pecans throughout.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop out your freshly churned Butter Pecan Ice Cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately!

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Garnish with extra toasted pecans or drizzle with caramel sauce for added indulgence. Pair with warm apple pie or brownies for a decadent dessert combo.

Tips & Tricks:

  • For an ultra-smooth texture, ensure cream cheese is fully blended into the base before freezing.
  • Toast pecans beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor—just let them cool completely before mixing in.

Storage & Reheating:

Store leftovers in the same pint container with its lid tightly sealed for up to one week in the freezer. If ice cream hardens too much, use the “Re-spin” function on your Ninja Creami to restore its creamy texture.
