Recipe: Cherry Pecan Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

(Manual crosspost from elizabethshack.com)

We have a few pecans, courtesy of my parents and their tree. I was
trying to decide what to do with them, and as often happens I thought of
dessert. Specifically ice cream. Then I thought about what would go
well with pecans in ice cream…and came up with something amazing.

"...or you get bored."

You cook like I do. :) I typically used entirely low-fat milk instead of cream.

Ohhhh, just had a thought - what if you use my old favorite, fat-free half 'n' half? I still don't know exactly how that works, but it sure is tasty. I hadn't discovered it back when I was still making ice cream.

I'm not sure I'd trust fat-free half and half. Depends what's in it. Might be worth a try, though.

To be honest, I wouldn't go out of my way to make lower-fat ice cream. I just don't want to have one leftover cup of cream, though I'm sure I'd think of something to do with it eventually.

Thanks for the inspiration! I love pecans. I'll be making this soon.
