In honor of National Ice Cream Day (yes, it’s a thing!), I made one of my favorite flavoring of ice cream. Plus, it’s one of the lowest carb ice creams that I have made before. It’s almost pure fat – and it tastes fantastic to boot.
The flavors of the brown butter and heavy cream come together to form an almost caramel type flavor. If you’re familiar with the keto caramel recipe, then you’ll see that this one has some similarities. You brown the butter, add cream, and mix everything together to make a nice syrup-like texture. Adding the pecans gives a slightly salty element, which really brings out the flavor. Though, if you’re a thrill seeker, feel free to add a little bit more salt to your own taste.
