Butter Pecan Ice Cream
Jun 21, 2025 03:38 AM
This no-churn butter pecan ice cream is my homemade spin on the classic flavor. It’s a rich, creamy base swirled with dulce de leche and buttery candied pecans. Leave the ice cream maker in the cupboard this time!
After making butter pecan cookies inspired by my favorite ice cream flavor, I figured it was high time I tried making actual butter pecan ice cream at home! This no-churn ice cream recipe is silky smooth and creamy, with sweet dulce de leche and chopped pecans swirled in every bite. Here’s why it’s the best:
No ice cream maker. While traditional ice cream recipes use an egg custard base that needs to be churned, this is Philadelphia-style butter pecan ice cream, meaning you don’t even need an ice cream maker. There’s no churning necessary, just fold the ingredients together and freeze!
Smooth and creamy. There’s nothing quite like the texture of homemade ice cream. It’s softer than store-bought, with a creaminess similar to soft-serve.
Full of flavor. This recipe is loaded with all the rich and nutty, buttery flavors that I love in butter pecan ice cream from my local ice cream parlor.
