Do you need Butter Extract for Butter Pecan Ice Cream?

Tips for Making Ninja Creami Butter Pecan Ice Cream:

This recipe begins by mixing several ingredients in a large mixing bowl, see the recipe card below for full instructions.

Once the mixture is mixed up well, pour this into the Ninja Creami Pint. This will freeze for at least 24 hours in the freezer before spinning in the Ninja Creami Machine. Remember that it needs to be placed in the freezer on a level surface.

After 24 hours, the Creami pint will be placed in the outer bowl to spin on ICE CREAM using the Ninja Creami. After this is done, it’s best to use a spoon to make a hole in the center and add in the chopped pecans.

Then, the ice cream will be spun again using the ADD-IN function.

The vanilla pudding in this recipe is used as a stabilizer for the ice cream, if you do not have that, you can use 1 tablespoon of cream cheese instead; however, it may make it a bit softer than using the pudding mix.

If you need this to be made gluten-free, be sure to use the Jell-O brand pudding. This is the pudding brand we use for this and it works perfectly.

Butter Pecan Ice Cream is wonderful served with additional chopped pecans and homemade caramel sauce.

How do you store leftover Butter Pecan Ice Cream?

The leftovers can be stored in the Ninja Creami Pint with the lid on in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

If needed, you can re-spin it again before serving.

This is such a wonderful dessert and will easily be a staple in your house, especially if you love using your Ninja Creami!
