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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and continue stirring. Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Assemble the sundaes: Scoop 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into each serving bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle the warm pecan pie sauce generously over the ice cream.
Step 7
Top each sundae with whipped cream and, if desired, sprinkle with shaved dark chocolate or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Pecan Pie Sundaes!
