A while ago A couple of months ago when we had the Mad Hatters Tea Potluck Party, I made Butter Pecan Ice Cream to accompany with Wendys poached pears. Well Im obviously not very diligent in putting up recipes as fast as I can say them, but better late than never.

I first made this Butter Pecan Ice Cream when I was in Sydney about 5-6 years ago. That time I had a very small ice cream maker (well small is good, so you dont over eat LOL) So I made a couple of ice creams back then like wasabi, black sesame, butter pecan, cardamon, mango, pistachio etc etc.. how I remember is cause I still am keeping my LCB days blog entries. So I never got to making butter pecan ice cream again because . haha. it uses alot of condensed milk and Im not a big fan of Malaysian condensed milk as its not made with real milk.

It was until Stella from Bravetart who sent me 2 cans of real condensed milk that I thought, it was time to make it again!! Thanks Stella, you may think, why is this Malaysian girl asking for real condensed milk, but when you taste those here, youd know why

And, I also got maple syrup from my cousin who resides in Canada when she came back for CNY early this year..The only thing was the pecan wasnt as big LOL

Cook condensed milk, cream, milk and sugar in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat for a few minutes and till its just about to boil, reduct the heat to low. Whisk in the egg yolks and stir continuously till the mixture is thick and coats the back of the spoon. That would take about 3-5 minutes. Do not allow mixture to boil.

Butterpecan is still my favourite ice cream and I dont know why its so hard to get outside. But then again, I guess I wont be buying from the store, because.. homemade is best!
